Apparently the Mayans were wrong, perhaps bad math, perhaps bad karma. The world did not come at an end at 5:00 AM on December 21, 2012.
Joining us once again was Paul Shattuck (above) who made his annual Christmas/New Years visit from Witchita, Kansas.
Mose Crews (above) once again was the Shreveport Yard Master.
Charlie DeVillbiss (above) was busy as the Shreveport Public Belt
operator in Keithville.

Sue City moving all sessions long.

The Maryville Operator (MOP) on the E-Branch.
Tonight there was a new face in Alexandria Yard.

Ron Brannon (above) appears to be enjoying himself as
an Extra Board Engineer.
Rodney Dixon (above) is busy with an

to control an Extra Board Freight in
Blanchard at the I-49 West Yard.
