Re: (erielack) U34CH sound

Ok..
12.
On a cold Winters day, sitting on the big heater enclosure next to the  
control stand in the cab, with the house style vent blowing blowtorch hot air up  
at you.. If you were laying in an ice bath, that heater would COOK you in 5  
mins..Damn near paint peelin hot.. 
13.
Feeling the lateral motion of the worn outness of them later on... 
14.
Hanging your head out the window in 8th notch uphill by Chester Jct and  
hearing the traction motors purring.
15.Looking back leaving Lake Hopatcong Station and seeing black smoke  and 
flame, rocketing up from the stack, like you could never imagine.
16. Looking back at the running boards 8th notch over stick rail and seeing  
all the rusty engine compartment doors chattering..
17.
Best of all.. In the midst of full throttle, with the roar of the  U34, 
Looking over my right shoulder seeing Veteran Lackawanna engineers,  who happen to 
be looking over their left shoulders, smiling back at  me, knowing I was 
having the time of my life :-)
