Working rail roads and their tracks.

When my wife and I were dating, we'd go sit in a local park at night and listen to music and talk about stuff (that's my story and I'm sticking to it). On wet rainy nights, the South Shore electric train would come hauling past at 70+mph. They were NOT welded tracks, and that thing would clickety-clack down the tracks bouncing the pantograph on the overhead wire and throw these HUGE blue arc fireballs one after the other. It was quite impressive.

That train was so rough riding back then, the local nickname was The Vomit Comet.

Gee, I had no idea you had electric powered engines down there...

Had to look twice, not at the train but the bailer. Not mine though. I don't have the net storage on the back. Won't be here too much longer, I have a Kubota on order.

It has net storage for an extra roll on the front, too.
I keep (2) of the big rolls of Tama on board.
The new New Holland balers have a LOT of new features that were previously lacking. I like the on board dual density system. You can adjust bale pressure/density from the cab. They also now have digital moisture readout on the screen. The baler itself is greatly improved. They dual density hydraulic rams make a much denser bale. I’m making 1000 pound 4x5 bales with ease now.

Passenger train. The South Shore is one of the last electric interurbans in the country. Goes between South Bend, IN and downtown Chicago. You could spend a few days reading about it, as it's a popular topic for rail fans.

You look at the standings today, the Cubs are in first place. Only by a 1/2 game though.

I signed up to the big boy email server but not heard anything from it. Has anyone heard if the 4014 will be out this summer??
