They say that neither rain, nor sleet, no snow, nor dark of night can stop the Sue Line crew. Well at least they are right about the rain.

After about two inches of rain fell on the Sue Line inside at

Sue City (above), all was dry and the crew was ready to run trains.

Charlie DeVillbiss (above) is working his north bound train

at South Alexandria. He would soon be headed out on the mainline.
