Mid/late 90s it was NB and stopped in College Station. We ran into another family we knew there. We heard we could buy tickets so we did and took our friend with us and his mom picked us up in Waco (or Temple, I dont remember...)
It was a cool ride and tons of folks at all the crossings waving.
We sat at a rural crossing North of Navasota. We got there more than an hour early, and she was more than a half hour late. She was making a good 55-60mph by calibrated eyeball. After she went by, the 20? Cars at that crossing meandered into town to see her parked downtown. Since she came in from the north, they had to close the main street for quite awhile since her tail crossed it. After about 30 min off she went.
For anyone going to see her in the next few trips. It seems that the schedule is merely a suggestion. And the "tracker" of their website is herky jerky at best. It freezes then updates miles at a time.
So go early, and don't necessarily count on the tracker.
Momma and I gonna run down to West on Wednesday for the whistle stop. The Ft. Worth stop is only about 25-30 minutes away but my tolerance for urban maggots ain’t real high. Besides, by going to West we can get a great sandwich and some great sugar free dietary supplements
Being the skeptic that I am, I figure this is just propaganda for the Union Pacific. MY guess the as a whole have a pretty big carbon footprint. Not the a carbon footprint means much to me, but just look at all the halfwits with their green agenda. I'm really that little troll Greta Thunberg hasn't shown up yo bitch & cry that we need solar powered trains.
