Alright, I'm back. First i went to the roundhouse and the steamer was not there. And i had no luck at Wendy park. Then at 2:30 i went to berea. My dad and I got stopped at a rta station to watch a passing train as soon as that left yet another came! So i waited and taped. As it began to end yet another came!(Note: this is the NS chicago line and this part has 3 tracks) So all the lines were full! :o We get to Berea and it was almost like New york city traffic!(no offense) Your average stuff till about 4:00. 2 CSX diesels were coming so i headed to the east bound one. I fell when running(lol)but I got a rare grain train and was being hauled by 2 older CSX EMD SD40-2 diesels! And the other was a intermodel. But the best part was about 5:00-5:15 when these two dash 8s were trying to be steam engines.(smoke show) and as soon as i was about to get my cam corder off my dad's car, I saw a Illinois central 6 truck Pullman coach! No joke! I picked my camera up and followed it as much as possible till a CSX diesel got in the way :(. I stayed at Berea for another 30 minutes and left. This is the best train day for me ever! ;D

How about you guys? :P

It appears National Train day will be the 2nd Saturday of May (May 10th- Completion of Transcontinental Railroad)
If you are in a city that day, and see lots of different colored balloons or a long line of people, they are also part of the celebration. I went into Boston on Saturday and hung out for a while talking about the future of MBTA...
