| 10:15am Crossing the Mississippi River again. Boy, I�d like to know how many times I�ve crossed this river in my life. LOL Typical November-December day. Cloudy and gloomy. But at least it�s warm. 50 deg or so. Welcome to Wisconsin. Were coming into LaCrosse, WI. LaCrosse....hmmmmm.......hehehee. The things I have done in this town. LOL Octoberfest. A few of my friends went to school here. Western Wisconsin is almost mountain terrain compared to the rest of the state. The glaciers and the Mississippi river are the reason for this. The farther we get away from the river, the flatter the land we become. At least their are trees. LOL Red barns with white houses surrounded by mass areas of wooded land, yep I�m home. And God bless the Green Bay Packers. LOL Living here, you have to say that every day or else they will kick you out of the state. LOL Hey!!! Birch trees!! There�s something I haven�t seen in 5 days. 2:30pm Well this is the end Peggy. Nothing left to do but wait for the station and unload all. We should...........and-and-and......there-goes-my-car. Grrrrrr........ Were going to get in early. But the only problem with that is the station master has nowhere to put us, no room. So were just crawling along killing time. Doesn�t matter, I have until 5:08 to catch my train home. I should have time to get something to eat. 5:15pm Man, what a fiasco !!!!!!!! Once we stooped in the station in Chicago I couldn�t get out my door!!!! There having work done to the ceiling of the platforms in the station and there�s all this scafeling. And wouldn�t Ya know it? They stop the train so my door is blocked!!!!!! Can�t unload my people. By the time they realize this, the other cars are unloading. So now I�m supposed to wait until everybody else is off the train before they will move it. And it�s only 30 feet. Man-o-man. This will take 15-20 min at least. |
| None of my passengers are happy at this point. So I send them all back up stairs and forward 1 car. That way they can get off the train. I tell them to come back and I will hand there bags through the scafeling. Man, what an outfit!!!!! LOL �This is the end, my only friend, the end�..........The Doors. I hope you enjoyed your �trip� Peggy. I just wish the scenery was a little better. Maybe come spring I�ll take you to California with me. That�s a route I know well and it has tons more to see too. Well if nothing else, you now have a pretty good idea of what it is I do for work. LOL I�ll do my best to get this typed out but It might take awhile. LOL Enjoy your layover Peggy. See you in chat. |
