'40s, '50s and '60s were pre-riot and pre-Coleman. A much different world.

I can't connect to that article for some reason but I do have an opinion on the major cause of Detroit's transport problems. Being surrounded on the east and south by a river and international border, all commuters (students, workers, shoppers.... whatever) excepting the Canadians that cross, that w...

"Down payment on yacht" is my favorite memo.

I imagine a Metro Parkway in Fort Myers watching for the Gulf Seminole Railway is out?

At the time (years back) that the US Gov. learned that Boeing and Rolls Royce had the ability to monitor all aspects of the operation and location of all jets manufactured this century without any actions from airlines or their knowledge, it is not believable that they did not force all manufacturer...

Never surprised always contrived.

I am led to believe that there are certain late night transactions that pretty much require cash. They say that cash is also used as a delivery system for use of certain recreational powders. I have no independent recollection of that, Judge. Wait, I started this thread and it is not about cash/debi...

WAG: The two Iranian passengers with stolen passports could have something to do with it.

Just sayn'

TBCX marked cars are owned by Boeing Corporation.

There are still many apartment managers who don't accept direct deposit.

"Apartment Manager" is not a high tech position. That's why they let us old fogies do it.

Things may change on the Grand Elk soon, and for the better.

Larry McCloud (of TSB fame) was just named the new General Manager.

I am now just sitting here on my couch at home after writing about my fathers death and it all reflects back on me... I have an interesting life and if my dad could make it through school and eventually work 2 jobs, I can too. I just need to get off my butt and do it. My goal this year is to finish...

During my college classes we could only use our abaci following the third quartile of the hour.

What Norm says is true but posting here is, IMO, more productive than most current use of tax dollars. Wait, lets not end it there, food stamps converted and spent on dope, the IRS partying in Vegas, $72 millions spent on "study" of the Wally with no productive output, billions paid to lawyers for n...

One way we looked at it back in 2002-4 was to run only local service. From area of Cherry Growers to center of town and on to the casino and back maybe four times a day. Sort of a poor man's commuter. One version had rush hour moves in and out and daytime and evening runs. The object was to not only...

We looked at that a decade ago. I'm convinced it would work if politicians
come out no worse than neutral.

The picture above is of a defective weld in welded track. Note the bolt holes to the right and left of the weld. The most common breaks are in nonwelded track and result most often from bolt hole fractures ( bolts loosened and the excessive action from train wheels). Also a lot of battered rail ends...

Mercy.

You mean steel will actually flex?

Looked like every third had been replaced and the next tamping would be normal.

Uhhh...is it still cold up there?

Not by this winter's standards. OTOH, I'm tempted to visit a friend in Punta Gorda.

If you do, that is about 25 miles north. Call me and I will meet you at Hurricane Harry's in Fisherman's Village.
