Running extra...

CN power consists are a little more predictable than in the years above...and it's rare to see more than two units on a train...not counting mid-train DPU's.  Now CN is experimenting with former UP fuel tenders like CNW1 between a couple of 5200's for a new LNG project.

The Democratic National Convention included speeches by both Obamas.  Bill Clinton clocked in around 48 minutes!  That boy sure do like to talk.  There was lots of what you would expect from a convention: hoopla and hullaballoo.

One of the reporters covering the convention is CBS' Byron Pitts, whose autobiography Step out on Nothing - How Faith and Family Helped Me Conquer Life's Challenges I'm currently listening to.  Though found to be functionally-illiterate as a child, Byron worked hard, and to see him reporting from the floor was an interesting coincidence.
