Mike, I would be very surprised if the equipment from OK city is not already outdated, the technology in paint is moving that fast.

The technology of painting during that time grew so fast that today the method used would be akin to Model T technology. I like being retired but I do miss t...

Conrailmike, When do they plan to start production of the new car?

I currently have a 2004 grand Prix, 135k and never had a problem other than normal wear and tear. Never have had to tune it up. Best car I have ever owned.

why not paint it Chessie, best paint scheme ,,, ever,,,,ever ,,, EVER

My understanding, from other railfans, was that the old diamond had a speed limit of 40mph. Anyone know what the new speed limit will be?

I Never knew that , Garry, lots of those songs were done by artists of different genres.

I would like a heads up as to when it is going in if anyone knows. I think it would be interesting to watch.

This is the only "In The Still of the Night" I know!

"In the Still of the Night" was a country song by Ronnie Milsap in the 70s. Long before Whitesnake
