2) The Maine Scanner Feed was particularly active today. I heard the Boston East dispatcher talking about North Beverly. I'm regularly picking up transmissions from Vermont, including during the day. I'm hoping the combination of a new antenna, a ham radio, and no more foliage makes for a super winter listening season.
3) There's an Internet Radio show found at http://www.letstalktrains.us It's cool! Much of the discussion involves California (since the show is based in San Diego), but there's a potpourri of interesting RR talk. They "broadcast" on Saturday afternoons and one can listen anytime to that week's show via Windows Media Player.
4) Speaking of California, it appears that's where work journeys will be taking The Wheelman for the forseeable future. I'll be splitting my time between Pomona (hello Cajon Pass) and east of Sacramento (hello Truckee and Tahoe).

Holy cow! Memories indeed!
There were cabooses in my days of biking on Mason St. so we didn't try to push the train (those conductors were intimidating). Some of my friends tried to be "mid-train helpers" though. FCPD questioned us once for that very activity (we knew better by then). CSU always seemed to breed those daredevils too. Simple physics (5000 tons vs. 180 pounds) and auto traffic kept me from trying.
Good luck in California!
WE WANT PICTURES, Paul!!!
