Mis-route

he changed his number (and his phone too for that matter); something to do with the plan he was piggybackin' on......

That train came out of Jackson with the camp cars and flats for the track equipment for the rail gang that did some work recently; heard it was heading to Alliance after it waited in Toledo for a cab-signal leader. Not sure why they put that train in Jackson as NS changed out some rail just west of ...

heeeheeeheeeheee...................wakey-wakey choad; are you that tired from work??

Amtraks' sorry attempt to add more capacity for business class; why not just suck it up and do it like the Carolinian with a WHOLE car of business class---which really was an upraded long-distance coach with the nicer seats. Sometimes we gets those lead sleds and sometimes we don't; personally I don...

nah Steve, just cut a hole in the floor of the car--kinda like the old days on pass cars.....

I was thinking a darker blue would 'work' better with that green and silver.......although in my eyes, all that pretty paint won't look as good if those engines don't pull worth a darn!!!

Careful Camas, I can tell you that the unions did not want this to happen....

Because PriorRightsConrail has the unique perspective of a Class 1 employee who used to work on this line......

I saw a B90 at Ypsi with those A&B units heading west this morning on 354, probably in Jackson by now......

Which covered hoppers are we talking about Todd, the single-bay airslides or the blue grain cars that were 'stationed' in Iowa and only made it to home rails once on accident (mis-routed)?? I have a set for each of these somewhere in my basement; is it possible to use a set as a template to make mor...

3 flatcars were on the ground right in the middle of the plant at Scotten. Perhaps CN should look into NOT putting these lightweight cars in between big blocks of loads........ I had to wait on 384 coming home on 354 at Scotten and I heard Desk 8 talking to 391 while I was traversing thru the carnag...

Yeah TTAM, Ol' Sage surprises me too with all the info he is carrying around in that noggin of his. That was a good time, wish we would have had more time to spend down there---darn family obligations :wink: :wink: ---and that it would have been a little warmer too. We saw a train moving representin...

Brent, the IN boys go on duty in Hillsdale and deadhead to/from Montpelier, so technically, no......

Does anybody know what's left of the South Yard in Lansing??

DR, back in the days when I had a lot more practice, I was challenged to a tequila contest; luckily for me, the bottle ran out after we had 13 shots--it was a tie too!!! I would recommend that you DO NOT use El Toro either.............just sayin'......

As I work regular m-f nights, that would be no-go; when might your next one be??

Do we have to have a reason??

Since most of the old heads are retired, probably there is no way to get an exact answer.....

Gives you something to think about..........

On ours there is the company logo along with our name and photo and what category engineer you are, the license number that the card was issued, whether or not you are a DSLE or an OJT instuctor, the physical descriptions and DOB and hearing and vision restrictions and when the card was issued and w...

As I have a front row seat to idiots who ignore crossing protection and have a VERY dim view of their intelligence, perhaps I am being a little harsh when I think that he got off with just a slap on the wrist...........

The way I read the agreement is that while interchange with CSX is allowed, it would be more lucrative to interchange with NS.
