[QUOTE]Originally posted by bsme25: [QB] On Sunday at about 4:05, we were opening gifts at an "Elmo" birthday party for my 2 year old God Daughter when the sound of airhorns filled the air. Alyssa dropped her presents and made a mad dash for the door. Kids and parents quickly followed and were rewarded by a parade of at least 10 UP MOW track vehicles, some with small 2 axle flats in tow. The vehicles were spaced about 20-30 seconds apart so it made for a faily long procession. The hired Elmo actor never showed up but at least Alyssa and the other kids were treated to a parade down Santa Ana Street. Alyssa got 4 Elmo dolls, a lot of clothes and some Thomas The Tank Engine toys from her Nino! Got to start them off right! By the way, this morning I overheard talk between the operator at Anaheim Station and the Costa Mesa Local about the ability of a 30 car ballast train to make it down to the end the branch and run the power around the train. The local advised Anaheim that the siding at Dyer was long enough only for about 10,50 foot cars and that there was no room at the Metrolink Jct either. The operator stated that the ballast train would be operating down the branch in about a week and a half. That would make in mid week. I believe the Huntington Beach branch was reballasted over the period of 2 weekends. Keep your ears open. Lastly, it sounds like the Costa Mesa Local is going on duty at 5 a.m. verses 7 a.m. on a regular basis now. This means the Marlboro now consistanly gets out on time and gets back to Anaheim around 5 p.m. [/QB][/QUOTE]
