I suppose it's a great way to bond with your children!

I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I might have run down to Rockingham to check it out. I'd have to borrow a friend's car though. I guess I missed them whenever they came through Durham.

Just for information, that signal you saw was Medium Approach.

as of monday nite the plow train is still on the portsmouth lead

Report on another list that the two plows and the loco 332 were still parked at Rockingham as of this morning (Tuesday). However, the 332, which was reported as running yesterday, was not running today. If it either was shut down intentionally or shut itself down, better hope that it got drained. Early AM temperature in the area was close to zero.
