Thanks for watching! I have a Union Pacific from the same town with uploading in progress.

I’m sorry that you don’t have cicadas near you! They are wonderful to have! Perhaps there will be cicadas in your subdivision 17 years from now. It’s great that they are in other parts of Tinley Park!

Thank You for your comment! It’s great that you were raised in Villa Park! I love your childhood village! It’s cool that you have family connections in Little Lake! Please share my Cicada music video!

Marty was a great musician! He was an even greater man! If it wasn’t for him, many of us including myself wouldn’t be where we are at today!

@@kinkajou777 So true. He had a heart of gold.

@@sheilafahey7302 He was a very generous man! He was totally unconditional! There will never be another man like him again! In some ways, he was like Judy Garland! She was also kind and generous, and talented! Marty will never be forgotten, the rest of us will.

One of my favorite trains/topics!

Hi Sheila! Thank you for reaching out to me! I have been fine! You can find me at Buddy Guy’s Legends on some Friday and Saturday nights. I have been known to pop up at Rosa’s Lounge from time to time, also. Sometimes I just hang out. I have been fine. I hope that all is well with you too.

@@kinkajou777 Good to hear from you. Great that you’re doing well. Enjoy the lovely weather ☀️

@@sheilafahey7302 Thank You!

Thank You!!

Not a Seminole boat. That’s not a jeffboat. It’s a Viking boat

​@@cracker6515See the English C? Google it.

If you notice in some other videos, you will see what looks like a towing boat. Parts of that barge were moved in small sections. If that’s not proof of the barge being stuck, then I don’t know what is! I was in Memphis when it happened. A Memphis couple told me that it was stuck. Apparently, they have seen that sort of thing before. I initially thought what you all were thinking. Many of you all know more about barges than me! I’m not familiar with much of the lingo. If you notice, I do trains too. I happen to enjoy barges too. I can sincerely count on you all to teach me more about barge knowledge.

@@kinkajou777 Not only do the boats push up against a bank for holding, That is the same place that barges are added or subtracted to. Examine your video and notice the propwash, something you would not see if the tow was "stuck".

No! The Mississippi River was drying up due to drought if you can tell! Look at the river. There are banks showing where the water should be but isn’t due to the drought.

@@SassyRailfan Nope, he's parked. That side is the deep part of the channel. The front barge is run up to the bank of Mud Island. He wouldn't have been driving the boat into the island if he wasn't stopping. Yes, the river was low and that may have been the reason for stopping, to let a south bound boat to pass. But, he is not stuck. If he cut the motors the river would move him off the island. Those pilots know river and have depth finders, radar, everything you need to keep going. He would not have driven the barge into the island if he didn't want to park. All the time I spent in pleasure boats on the river, I never saw a tow that was stuck. I think it was '88 the second lowest on record that my cousin and I took his boat up and down the river. We went from Mud Island [back when they would let you put in for $2.00] and went from there to McKellar Lake and all the way up to Richardson's Landing. Just below the Memphis-Arkansas bridge were old wooden barges that had sunk back in the 1800's. Arkansas had guards there and wouldn't let us park and explore. No stuck barges then.

No such thing as flanking northbound.

I’m fine, thank you! You? I ride Metra to and from downtown Chicago for work! I recently rode to and from Palatine to get together with a friend. I haven’t been doing as many videos. I have been busy. I’m a semi professional musician too.

I hope to soon! After all, good rail fanning down there!!

@@kinkajou777ok!

Thank you for the kind words! You are not alone with your feelings towards Chicago.

I’m glad that you and your friend saw that Texas Eagle run!

I thank you and your friend for your rail fandom! I’m 49 years old! Yes, I’m an old man compared to you guys! I started liking trains when I was 11. My channel description will tell you more about it. Continue your rail fandom, Gentlemen! That’s exactly what I intend to do!

@@kinkajou777sure will!

Thank You!
