Attached are a few shots of yesterdays F3 move from Scranton to Portland. Navigation to places I had not been to in decades was courtesy of EL List stalwart Bob Bahrs. Equally great to seeing the F3's on the move was listening to the DL RS-3's burbling away - what a sweet sound!

Kudos to the crew that got the B-unit road worthy and made this possible, in particular Rich Jahn.

I was so excited to learn about Spencer...I booked tickets for the entire
event. I really want to see the F3's and the E-8 # 833
