New Grandson!
Allie and Tripp welcomed Floyd "James" Usry IV into the world Wednesday night December 14th. All are well. Judy was able to be with them. Tripp will no doubt raise him as a Marine. I, of course, will try to infect him with the Model Train bug . . .

Steamtown Railfest 2011
John and I drove up to Steamtown on Saturday for Railfest. The event was celebrating the 25th anniversary of Steamtown and the 40th anniversary of Amtrak. It was great! In addition to Steamtown's permanent displays, Amtrak brought in a P40 Genesis pulling a cafe car, 2 baggage cars and a sleeper. These housed a "museum" of the history of Amtrak. They also brought an F40PH pulling a business/inspection car.
But, the best part was watching the excursion trains in action: Canadian National #3254 Mikado, Nickel Plate #514 GP9, and a pair of Lackawanna F3s. At one moment, we stood in awe as we watched all 4 engines criss-cross in front of us. Here is the Mikado:
