OS 101 flying by mp214 @6:06 w/3 Hertwigs & the 3rd one LHF.  IM, some doubles, empties, no Ashley and a rather short train.  So sorry that my spot is directly into the sun and cannot make out the numbers.  No one posted an earlier message coming south, so do not know #'s.  No difference as it is simply exciting to watch three in a row!!

ECH & Jim with melodic toots tonight from the 100 and 101 @5:06 from mp 214 and ECH waving and going crazy from the tread, as I have been working so hard in therapy, that I actually stood up out of the wheelchair tonight to wave my white flag from a top the reacher. How glorious and a couple of work crews from FEC showing up at the same time to witness my happiness this warm evening.  I do mean warm tonight.   Meeting @Palm Bay with 101, so will be heading back out shortly.
