A big "thank you" to a reader for alerting me to the announcement.
We took air and ground photos of the Epping rail yard last week. The facilities for these operations are huge. Will send pics if you tell me how.

That's wonderful. About the only way I know is to e-mail them as an attachment. My e-mail address is at the blog site (oksol@yahoo.com); if you have concerns about your e-mail address, as soon as I download the photos, I will delete your message and the e-mail address along with it.
DeleteIf you do send them, let me know if you want credit for them; I only use first names, but some folks have told me they don't want even their first names posted.
Again, than you for the offer. My dad and I drove past the Epping rail yard almost every evening last summer/fall.
