The key to failure is to try to please everyone.

Looks like she saw N902 coming back from Grand Rapids after having dropped off N901. We at least heard N901 in Fostoria saturday evening...

When i got that text from her with that info last night, saw that it was from her, then read the message, and thought it was from one of the other railfans here... told her last night that it was almost exactly what i get texts of from members here, said it was almost perfect... she thought that fact was scary.

Back to that train... shouldn't they use an E symbol to head back, instead of N?

No if the train already has a (SP?)(like that should suprise anyone), if it alredy has a consingee, it keeps its symbol, is what I had been told. It only gets a E symbol if it dose not have a consingee, yet and is just heading back not already claimed.

Ok, my girlfriend has told me on occasion when she's seen a train, but she's never identified the RR and loco #. Zack, she's getting sucked in slowly and she doesn't even realize it! :lol:
