SD40-3 at Brunswick, Md 2-11-2011

I grabbed this photo of CSX 4008 as it cruised past me and into Brunswick rail yard around noon yesterday. I was waiting for a west bound when this EB totally surprised me. I stopped briefly in Brunswick on my way to visit my son at Shenandoah University and I didn't have my scanner along. You can click on the image to see it larger.

Rumor has it that WB Tower is going to be closed. Progress is a real bummer for this rail fan.

Dulcimer photos

I am finally cataloging my dulcimers. I took photos of 4 different dulcimers today. Here are two. On the left is and hourglass with padauk body, sitka spruce top and heart shaped sound holes. On the right is a cherry tear drop shaped body with western red cedar top and butterfly shaped sound holes. I need the photos for my web-page.

I was organizing my photo folders this morning and came across this photo of the Great Frederick Fair. I took this photo from the Ferris wheel in September 2010. Just thought I'd post is as a reminder that that dingy snow wasn't always outside my window. BTW, The Ferris wheel is the only ride that I am brave enough to handle :-)
