Week ending 2/9/07:
"When the wind blows, the cradle will rock", except this "cradle" was rocking into a strong headwind! The trains were all behind schedule this week. The single digit mornings that didn't break freezing marks all day make stuff run poorly on the train. Switches don't switch, signals don't signal and catenary electrical overhead systems don't stay connected. Monday's normal 5.5 hour round tripper was 7.5 hours! The rest of the week was not as bad, but still one slow ride. Thinking of lullabies reminds me that this was also one tough ride for the bambinos on board. Maybe it was the cold, but those little love nuggets were wailing up a storm. Just what the gang wants to hear after a long day at the salt mine. Mothers tried to keep those puppies pacified, but demonstrated little success. One more reason to dream of Spring!
