Man, Why are these railroad oddities always happening to me??? So I was out railfaning today @ the Amtrak station in Depew, NY when two single units passed by me heading east, CSX 321 and UP 4234 on track 4, just by themselves, no freight or anything. I got pics of em and then thaught nothing more of it. A few minutes later I noticed that the units had stopped, just before where tracks 3 and 4 merge into track 1. I drove down Walden Ave. and they were stopped right behind the used car dealership on the corner of Walden & Transit. I thaught this would make a cool shot, so I park my car and I get to about 20 feet from the lead unit when an engineer pops out of a dumpster next to me. Scared the @#$% out of me. He had a hand full of dead or dying roses, and some other stuff he was taking from the dumpster. He smiled at me, noded his head, hopped out of the dumpster and walked into the lead unit. I was dumbfounded!!!!! After seeing that I walked slowly back to my car to gather my thaughts. A few seconds later, a different guy emerged from the cab and started digging around in the dumpster. What the &$#@??? Is there a way to put pictures up on this new forum software, cus you better beleave I got some of this event!!!!!!!!!!!
