Somebody call the locomotive shop, that lead engine has cracks in the windshield! :) Michael

I'd sure love to see the Crescent back in private hands, but only if it was the Southern of old, not the new NS (Nazi Southern).... Tuxedo Green RULES! :) Michael

It's causing a heck of a headache for the cellphone companies. There have been a lot of break-ins at cell phone tower sites. The crooks are stealing the copper grounding bars and the grounding wire to sell. The PD departments have had to put extra patrols on sites lately because of this...

Now that you mention it, the NS Training center does have remote operated engines.... :rolleyes: Michael

And THAT would have been only half that engine! hamr I've got a few more pictures, I just am too lazy to work on them right now..... Michael

I saw this on a siding near the NS Training center in McDonough, GA after I got off work. Fortunately, I had my new "cheapo" digital camera with me and managed some good shots of it. This could be good to model. First time I've seen an engine shipping like this. Michael

Oy, somebody just bought 16 train cars worth of slightly dented Toyotas! I am glad nobody got hurt, but is a pity about the egines.... Michael

Ok, now that just looks cool. I havn't seen any like that down here, but I did see a lease engine that had a big black line through the "Union Pacific" on the side (like the strikeout option for fonts on your computer) and the new reporting marks under the road number (C something, can't...

If I was voted Dictator-for-Life, it would be open season, no limit for "Taggers". And I'd MAKE the railroads clean and repaint the cars ASAP. *grumble* I hate taggers.... Michael

...And twice as far with a chocolate bar! :eek: Oh, Mister Kotter.... :D

For the talkative ones.... "You must have been vaccinated with a phonograph needle!"

Good grief, that looks like one of the ones I saw at the Colorado Railway Museum last year! I wouldn't worry abou the "fuzzyness" much. The weathered wood I saw on some of the really old box cars looked kinda fuzzy in real life! ;) Great job. So did you weigh them down any? Michael

Well, a little followup on what happened after I posted yesterday and went to bed. My wife was taking my daughter to the doctor for a bad cough and when she was stopping at a restauruant and some idiot in a SUV didn't look when backing up. She hit the car right where my son was sitting in the...

The doctor just called back with the results from my blood work. My thyroid levels are perfect, my liver functions are fine, my blood sugar normal, but my cholesterol is a bit high. Ok, so that is an understatement. My blood type can now be classified as "Ragu Extra Thick". I can't help it...

Well, I went to the doctor today to see about my medication. My wife and daughter went with me. The wife because she could talk about things she saw and the daughter because she is only 21 months old and she would only make a mess while we were gone. And to top it off, today is our 10th wedding...

Had the interview with the head of the GIS department this morning right after work. I think it went really well, but she has to talk to a few other applicants still. One of the things she talked to me about was the new mapping system that we started using yesterday in the 911 center...

Well, it is definately not any of those sugar substitues, I can't ingest any of them. Some actually give me horrible headaches, others panic attacks! Only splenda doesn't affect me and I can't stand the aftertaste of it. As far as diet, my wife has been hounding me to have my blood sugar...

I would like to thank you all for your kind words and prayers. I have two updates for today. While things were pretty much the same at work this morning, I did stop and get a doctors appointment for this Wednesday at 10 am. My wife found out about a new medicine called Lexapro that is used for...

I need to get this off my chest, so if you don't want to hear real-life, depressing things, stop reading now. I am not kidding here. Ok, if you are still there, you've been warned. I have some medical problems that are giving me trouble at work. I have depression and panic attacks that...

Well, we can tell you more after the NTSB completes its investigation! :) Sorry to hear about the crash. From the description, it sounds like something that would make Gomez Addams cringe! Michael
