Posted by Nscalemike on October 20, 2008  Self portrait eh? Classic image from a time gone by. Nice work Marty Posted by Mark G. Gayman on October 20, 2008  That brings back fond memories of when I worked at East Cabin and Portage, Illinois, on the ICRR in the late 60s. Portage, especially, required strong legs as well as strong arms. Thanks for posting! Posted by Ray Peacock heartlandrails.com on October 20, 2008  Wonderful photo Marty. Posed, or not. Posted by Marty Bernard on October 20, 2008  Yes, I worked a couple of summers during College for the CB&Q substituting for vacationing Agents, Operators, and Levermen between Chicago, Galesburg and St. Paul. So this was my tower for 8-hours a day for a couple of weeks. What fun and great union pay! Posted by Mitch Goldman on October 20, 2008  A great photo, Marty. You've opened a window to another world with your fascinating views. Thanks! Hey - still have that shirt? ; ) Posted by Jeff Swanson on October 21, 2008  I enjoyed visiting your personal "story"/ photo's regarding that derailment Marty. Very interesting. Thanks for your efforts and I will echo many others in appreciating your numerous photo postings - they are timeless and a welcome addition to RP!
