Friday was a very late start. Our Amtrak train was 7 hours late so instead of being there at 8:40am, we arrived at 3:50pm. Walking from the station to the hotel, i saw a lot of action starting with:

And already with a paper sign in the window. Sigh.

Tell me next time you're here!

Great pics! One thing though--I think 4753 is actually an RTS-08, but I could be mistaken. A friend of mine was in Chicago earlier last week (but he never posts his pics lol).

Yes, it is. It's also a 1990, VIN-wise.

Yeah, same here for me: blurry photos with a photobucket.com link overlaying them.

Firefox: If you right click on the photo and select "View Image" (preferably in a new tab), you can see the actual photo, unblurred.

Chrome: Right click on the photo and select "Open image in new tab."

Photobucket tells me constantly that I'm over the bandwidth limit.

Considering I haven't linked anything from there in years, I wonder where it's being loaded to.

I think there's an extention which disables photobucket. I'm glad to see responses after 12 or 13 years already. Glad to have you all back.
