A balmy 23 here in No. Virginia this morning. My toes were the only thing that got cold on my 9 mile commute.
The VRE 308 northbound engineer overshot the platform at Franconia/Springfield twice this week, putting the front car bicyclists are required to ride, into the ballast. The second time Thursday by over 15 feet. Aaron, the great young conductor got down onto the ballast and told us to hand our bike to him. Oh well, can't get to upset when the engineer hit the mark this morning and then opened his window, apologized and then wish us a Merry Christmas.
