But I've just reached my 2,000th Railforum post and I wanted to do so in a separate thread.
I don't ask for much but I think some ponies, a bigpiper or two, and, something new, a brass band would be nice.
Maybe even a piece of rolling stock.....maybe my own private car from the now out-of-work Grandeluxe fleet perhaps?
All the best -

Well.......I'll be riding past the Henry Clay on Friday! I'm doing a Greensboro-Baltimore ride on the Carolinian and then driving a rental car up to Scranton for Saturday's steam excursion to the Tunkhannock Viaduct.
Same leisure activity.......different destination!

Perhaps out there in La Plata, they can get a plaque on the wall of the CG lookout for you!

And I STILL need to stop in La Plata. I've ridden through twice in the last 12 months but haven't stopped!
