"OC" as in Ohio Central? In that case, I don't. I didn't go to the 'shindig' last year.

I've got a long trip planned out:
Vancouver-Winnipeg
Winnipeg-Churchill
Churchill-Winnipeg
Winnipeg-Toronto
Toronto-Montreal
Montreal-Halifax

All of this is in sleepers and all on my own tab. Pretty good considering I'm only 16 and Im going alone for almost 13 nights. Almost 10 000 Kilometres or 6213 miles.

Me, I'll just jump around all of NJ and gather photos that is when I have time to. Who knows, if I am really feeling adventurous, I may even go up to Port Jervis.

Im going to Maine this summer. Gona visit the WW&F. Ill proble be at NJMT all summer every weekend volunteering and gettin paid for it wensday-friday :D. Ill proble stop out at Strasburg and i might head out to Cass. Might hit WK&S and a few motor car trips with the UFGRS boys. And mabey the Cape May Seashore line. (I was on a motor car run on that. Wat a blast). O and I might hit Western Maryland. Did anyone hear about the suspention or rail operations at Steamtown?

yes i heard about the cancelation of steam this year at steamtown thats why 2816 which used to be on static display in steamtown isnt going there but its still doubleheading with the 261

Think thats long?

Hmm, first, I am spending a month with my aunt in harrisburg so I will ride my bike and railfan on all the tracks around.

Then I am going to France and continue taking pictures from where I left off last year

aaaaaaaand......thats all

My summer railfan plans:
Strasburg: once per month- Jun, Jul, Aug
West Chester RR- Jun
Amtrak (Lancaster to Harrisburg)- Jun
WK&S + East Penn Ry. in one July day
Rail-Tours + Old Mauch Chunck Model Train Display in one Aug day

This summer I took the Three Rivers from Fostoria, Oh to Chicago, Then the California Zephyr to Denver and the return trip. Some great times. I'll definately ride Amtrak again although my dad hated the lateness.

I went to the PRB, Alliance, Bailey Yard and Cheyenne also I saw CP 2816 and MILW 261 also I saw the Kerry& Edwards Deadhead Train. So did it look busy for me?

Well I guess Summer is over, so how was your summer? In one word, Great. I headed down to Railcamp in Scranton, PA and after went south to photograph CSX/NS/Strasburg and I was also able to get a little Metro-North and NJT as well.

All in All a good three months, lookin foward to next June.
