On Sunday 12/14, I got to ride on the old Milwaukee Road line that used to run from Milwaukee to Green Bay, WI. It's such a scenic line with a lot of hills and forests and lakes and small rivers. I and a photographer from the TV station I work at got to ride along on part of the trip. It wasn't open to passengers... but with my media pass and knowing the president of the Wisconsin Southern RR, I got to ride along. I guess they haven't had passenger trains on the line since the 1960's.

Check out our final video story that ran on last night's news:

No, I wasn't on video for any part of it... well, except my hand since I was doing an interview.

They tell me I have a face for radio... hahaha... that's why I stay behind the scenes these days!! :)

Thanks - the scene went buy so fast I couldn't really tell.

I'm going to move this topic over to the proper forum.

Dude, I can identify! :D

Thanks for the video. Interesting bit about the RPO aspect.

EDIT: Just heard a news conference about the first face transplant performed in the U.S. (and 4th overall). Sign me up! HAHA!!
