Nick Ozorak (At The Railyard, www.attherailyard.com) examines why we do what we do:  what got us into railfanning?  What aspects of it do we enjoy the most?  How can we continue to connect with it and balance it with our lives as a whole?  This will be an open discussion.  If you've never called in before, now is a great time to share your railfanning experience!

With the recent events that have taken place in Boston, this past week, our hobby of railfanning is, again, under the magnifying glass by the general public and local authorities. This week, Kansas City Nathan, hosts as we talk about the hobby of railfanning, different website and tools we use and have an open the phone lines for a discussion about the events the past week and what we can do to help promote our hobby and not fall victim to misunderstanding. ALL ABOARD!!!

Just imagine... It's early morning, with thick fog surrounding you, you are standing trackside, with a camera in-hand. You hear in the distance, the chug of a locomotive coming towards you, and you hear the whistle announcing it arrival. It gets louder and lounder and then, through the fog, the engine emgerges, cutting through the thick fog like a knife, in all of her glory. You stand there, watching her pass by in awe---forgetting that you are wanting to get a photo of her---amased by her power and absolute beauty. Though, sadly, as time passes, her fire has been dumped and she quitely waits, under a protective shed next to her cousin, for another chance to run under her own power. This week, Kansas City Nathan will welcome members of the Virginia Museum of Transportation and Fire Up 611 Committee to the show, as we talk about the committee, their goals, and what we can do to help. We will also share stories of 611's past and dreams of the future. This will be a very exciting show! Be sure to join us during the live show---12-noon (Central)/10am (Pacific)---as we help "Fire Up 611!" ALL ABOARD!!!
