No I didn't. I pm,d him last week and he said he had other plans unfortunatly.

Here are 3 shots of UP 1995 at Illinois Railway Museum in Union Illinois. It was diesel days this weekend and 1995 was on display Saturday and today (sunday). Thats my daughter standing in front of 1995,she is just as big a train nut as her father.
