  SPEAKER_01: You should have seen it.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_01: So you yesterday for Big Boy! Mm-hmm.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_01: You and I thought this was actually smart after after you said uh you were staying in Corning.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, well, this is actually kind of a brilliant idea.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna get angles of Big Boy that we wouldn't have gotten here uh on the Miracle Mile in Elmire Heights.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_01: So okay, this all makes sense.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it also makes sense because you have a house guest right now.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: And well, that was the thing.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: Originally I was gonna come back here, but then my house guest said, No, I I want to see this train.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_01: So it kind of hits you like that.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: You're like, I kind of want to see it.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: So she said, but will you come get me?
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Of course I will.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what I did, and that's why I stayed in Corning.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_01: Because you look like you had a great view.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god, it was fantastic.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Where we were was, you know where Walmart is in in the Corning Painted Post area.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, sure, yeah.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: There's this little like service road that goes it's across from Canada Road.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: So there's this little service road that goes down it and it's along the Shemong.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we and a ton of people were there.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_01: I was just gonna ask.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: I asked.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: I was just gonna ask.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_01: Was it packed?
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: It was packed.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: And the way what I did was I parked actually closer to Walmart because I said, You guys, we gotta have an easy exit to get out of here.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, I got a story about that.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to get bottlenecked by the train.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: And we got out so smoothly.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: It was awesome.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's nice.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: An excellent view because it was coming right through the depot over there.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Apparently it stopped at the depot because we're like, we're well aware.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, somebody had a tracker and they're like, uh we all did here, and we're like, why is it not leaving Gang Mills?
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Because whoever the ding dong is that said, it ought to be in Elmira Heights somewhere around 3:30, quarter to four.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_01: Boy, were you all dead wrong.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: It was five o'clock.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, was it?
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: And what time did you get back here?
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: Three?
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, I I went and even see, I didn't realize uh we had been told all week, uh, you know, they're moving on time.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_01: They left Hornell on time and then for whatever reason hung out in gang mills at the depot for uh uh quite a period of time.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: More water?
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe I don't know.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_01: That's a good question.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: So uh you know, we're following the tracker.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: I picked Lydia up from school thinking, oh my god, we'll miss it if she rides the bus or I can't get back here.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: You could have had dinner and came back.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: My God.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: So here we are running around.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: The kids are playing with Baxter, the station dog that lives here half the time.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so that's fine.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's fine.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: We finally went to the roof because what time?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: We knew it was getting close.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, we were up there probably about 4:30.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: So it was hot.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: It was very hot.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: And this is where I I mention what an exercise in stupidity.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: Did anyone's parents ever tell them don't play on railroad tracks?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, we had adults who were on railroad tracks and courting.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, get off the track, you dum-dums.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: The heights police are driving through with their loudspeakers going, get off the railroad tracks, please, get off the railroad.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: These parents, and this is what really kills me.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: If you're an adult and you're playing on the railroad tracks and something happens, I like to call that thinning the herd.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: But when you're a parent and you have kids that you're letting run around on the track, teach them right.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: How did you yes, that's it?
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: Run faster.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_01: How did you not how at one point did you ever think, oh, maybe another train could have ripped through even quicker?
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: Because this is a that's a long stretch from paint and post all the way, you know, past Elmira Heights.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was just it was it was insane.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: People were lined up here at three o'clock, uh both sides of the railroad tracks.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: So if you went over to the Elmira Heights side or, you know, our side, uh-huh and and the Valero gas station across the street had more people in that parking lot than they've ever had.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: So it, you know, and it great view.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_01: And it was really cool.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: We did get to see it from that very high angle.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_01: I got a video of that.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's cool.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_01: It moved pretty quick.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: It was not yeah, it was a short train.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was, it was, it went through pretty quick.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_01: It was the getting out of here.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_01: So at 5 30, Gavin had a haircut appointment that I had already missed one, so this was the make good, and I'm trying to get out of here, right?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Let me explain what happens on the miracle mile.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: First of all, you have people that don't normally they're not normally it's a busy road, but now it's like super times 10 busy.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, the traffic was backed up.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: You have people all over the place.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: Then somebody gets in an accident further up the miracle mile past Ferrario Ford.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Everything's at a dead stop.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: Scott's in the mode of like, I'm texting with Steve at Bella Capella going, I'm trying to get to you.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, well, as long as you can get here by 540.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: At one point, I turn around, had to go over to Grand Central to get on the highway to get out there.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Then I get on the highway, Mother Nature drops a flipping bomb on us.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: And also the traffic was backed up because after we had watched Big Boy in Corning, we were gonna try to chase it to Big Flats or me.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: And we just couldn't because the traffic was bumper to bumper.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, it was nuts.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_01: It was the the storm that hit right after the train went through was nuts.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, the dogs didn't fare well at home either yesterday, the puppies.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_01: It must have been bad in West Elmyra yesterday because they shook it up?
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh they were in a weird state yesterday, you know.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's really sad.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: I actually had to mop the kitchen a couple times.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, these poor little guys.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and you know, it it just was one of those days, you know.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: But at any rate, thank God it's Friday.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: Thank God it's Friday.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: But one other thing about the big boy thing, which I thought was fascinating, was and we had asked this on the air, could anybody actually be in the train?
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: Never knew the answer until I stood by a guy who's in the railroad industry and he said his brother was trying to buy a ticket.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: His brother, who he's like, my brother's a doctor, he's got so much money.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, but his brother stopped at$17,000 when they were auctioning off these seats.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like the elite were in that train.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because they had all those passenger cars, but it that was obviously not for your average person.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: No, but$17,000.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you what though, cool experience.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: Moved everybody to do something.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: I would that was the cool part about it.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_01: And it felt like New York City trying to leave here yesterday.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: I have a question in a second.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: That uh that's about big boy and my idea I feel like you have to do it like Big Boy and my idea from yesterday.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
