Well today will go down in history for something I will always remember in my whole rest of my life.
Today, 39 years ago January 14th, 1983, my Great Grandfather named Walter, passed away. In his early years, he was a part of the Chardon Ohio Fire Department. Well, 39 years later, today January 14th, 2022 I got word of a train coming, which I thought I was going to miss as we were open today at Corner Field Model Railroad Museum & Trading Post Train from 11AM to 4PM. Well I got a message from a very good friend that it was still coming, so I headed up. I saw the train a little after 5PM. This was CSX Spirit of Our Law Enforcement / Honoring our Law Enforcement ES44AH #911 leading CSX eastbound intermodal I010.
What a way for today to see this engine on the same day my Great Grandfather passed away in 1983. He must of been looking down on me and made this happen as I have been trying to see this unit for a couple years now and saw it today. Just wow, what a way to honor Walter for being a Fire Fighter all those years ago. This is something I will say, will probably never happen again to make this so special.
