Well on this morning's GMA at Harper's Ferry, Chris Como (not sure of the spelling) Mentioned the dreaded handle "FOAMERS"! Now the whole country knows about us! Well for the past 63 years I've been FOAMING! Durned proud to be one of them too!

I saw that show today too, I love the two old pullmen cars they have on the train.
It's funny to watch thoses dazy pickers ride that train.

I must plead ignorance as to what a foamer was until I read the paper this morning about the Metrolink accident. It was explained what a foamer is. I must admit that I have never foamed at the mouth or even drooled when I see a train go by. Should I?

Later!

Well in 1980's Reading Company T-1 2102 was FOAMING on the Getteysburg trip, when a fire truck fill the tender up. The 02 began to foam.

And a lot of "Foamers" drove long distances to see different RR. Events!
