Does anybody know the heritage of the 801?? With that rock shield up front, could this be a former Chessie unit??

Have you been drinking the water out of hamilton Lake??

Sometimes ugly is a good thing--definately unique..

I stopped in there one day last week, got a magazine that I didn't get when it was new. A little disappointed with the 'selection' of HO that was displayed at this time as I saw there was some stuff in the backroom that he hadn't got cleaned yet

I don't try to hit crows or ravens (that guy sure looked like he was hamming it up --Look at me sitting on the nose holding the food I took out of your hand) or Red tailed hawks or owls :( :( . I DO aim to run over every damm Canadian goose I can :twisted: :twisted: . I'm not so fond of turkeys now ...

Anything that's NOT a GE

Lately the trains have been running 6 cars during the week and as many as 10 cars on the weekend. The cars that were upgraded with the stimulus money are getting into circulation to get the car counts up(although i imagine those amfleet cars that were upgraded will still be a pain in the aas with th...

late trains account of flash flood warning from Kal to Jxn Davey Jones, are you sure about which day that you saw that?? I ended up going to KAL thurs night to cut 2 units off the rear of 354 and put them away in Botford to use on an extra the next day with the FRA cars testing to Chi outta da Zoo. ...

The homeless people don't bother the trains at all; some of the guys throw out some water for them :-) The Amtrak passengers haven't been doing that too much lately account of the big fence the borders the parking lot north of the station. The biggest problem lately is people jumping off the bridges...

AARR, I know exactly where you are talking about, and,...........I guess old habits die hard---like calling a certain rr by it's old name----LONG LIVE THE C&O!!!!:-)-----------but crossing the tracks at a location that ISN"T a crossing anymore isn't ok, even if that person has been doing it for year...

I say, it's about darn time; AARR, if you could see just how many idiots there are on the tracks in the AA area and how close they come to being statistics, you would change your mind. I worked yesterday and almost took out 4 teenage boys on the bridge by the M-14 overpass (and this bridge has a lon...

B-16 still runs to Albion and switches there and then returns to Jackson B-34 picks up everything in Battle Creek, runs to Jackson and swaps cars, then back to BTL B-56 gathers up everything in Jackson brought in from the 16, 30, 34,and BJ01 jobs, runs to Wayne and returns, switches Jiffy and 4 Mile...

O' Sage of the Siding, the Fremont elevator doesn't get any cars; usually if there are cars on the siding there, it's empties that were switched out from the two places that get cars to be picked up by a southbound going to Montpelier. Too bad the place that got steel coils closed, there used to be ...

Good luck............................

Sitting in Wayne --at least it was this morning -- heading to the IN at Montpelier if it's what I think it is.....

Just Aaron, curious who you heard this from......... I am "in the know"......and I got people, too :wink: ; alas, I'm not a heavy hitter :roll: and I don't think this topic is a joke like some people think it is.... It had been mentioned to me from upper management that it is being 'looked' into, fo...

Where did you pick that car up from??

Is it possible to modify one to a C&O GP-39?

Charlie, be on the lookout for an extra Amtrak move coming up from Toledo and heading west on the Mich line, supposed to leave Tol around 9am.

Supposedly there is a NYC engine in Lake Baw Beese east of Hillsdale....
