Beer, diesel fumes and sunshine…

I was planning to write about the TerraTransport SD40 today, or perhaps the TerraTransport story once more at least - instead after a beer with my notepad down at the station yesterday I’ve been sketching out other ideas…   The ideas themselves can wait for another day but what a wonderful afternoon in the sunshine with the diesel gala and the chance to feel creative once more. The self imposed standards I seem to place upon myself can feel like shackles sometimes - writing every day is one of those important cornerstones of what I do - and I still surprise myself with the variety of work and thinking that gets shared here - and I’m proud of the little community of ‘regulars’ who follow along and some whom even engage and discuss things in comments. Thank you all of you. So a beer and some headspace. A notebook and pen. Blank canvas and no pressure. The railway beats its own tune, and so with 80s music gently listing over from the cafe I find myself back to New England in the 1970s...
