    Thanks Mike for taking part in and making my last trip on CN a very memorable one. Its very appreciated! Thanks for your work as a conductor on all our trips!
    Please keep that camera of yours recording railroad moments as symbols of railroading disappear before you know it. Your photos are an essential part of railroad history.
    Besides, you can never have enough “foamers” working on the railroad :-)

    Thanks Stephen and thanks to Mike, my last moments as a “hogger” at CN was captured for prosperity. I miss it every day. Not just operating the trains, but the people like Mike who I worked with multiple timer. Boyhood dreams realized. I am a lucky guy to have done this for a living.
