I got a cheap thrill this morning when I went down to Ellinor Jct. to watch Amtrak trains 3 and 4 go by this morning. I was runnning just a tad late, and as I approached the final half mile to Ellinor, I could see that #3 was already passing through the junction, and would meet me on the road. This gave me an idea, so I flashed my lights at him to get his attention,(this was 230 in the morning!), and then dimmed my lights, like trains do when they pass. To my great surprise and pleasure, he dimmed his lights, and tooted his horn at me as we met! It was really cool, almost as cool as having 10 trains pass in the next two hours. Couldn't see them too well though, as there was no moon, only stars.
