Hah. I have done work in Oak Island, actually... and have run 142, which you might recognize. Last big track job was inspection of the Utica Main from a couple miles above Chenango Forks up to Earlville. Army Corps of Engineers insinuated themselves into permitting for reconstruction of washouts... and we will just have to see what happens there with the project.
Yes I seem to remember a firebreathing dragon numbered 142. Seems to me I got some flyash in me eye from being behind it. ;-) So if you ran the beast we may have bumped into each other (I would have been one of those guys with foam and a camera.)
Speaking of Utica Main, between multiple governments, NIMBYs, ACoE, turn-it-into-a-trail people, enviroweinies, and the scrap-it-to-recoup-our-investment people that is a continuing multi-year-spanning cluster fudge.
Last update I saw was some pics of washout repair by Earlville posted on the yahooooo group forum on Jan. 9. That may be good, but still waiting as you say.
