Re: Irma

Naples is 35 miles south (worse storm impact) Estero about 5 miles south, Port Charlotte 25 miles north and Fort Lauterdale 120 east. Building codes in effect at time of construction have the most impact on damage. My house was finished in 2005 and local codes required that each roof joist and rafte...

Re: Angles On Track

This thread reminded me of a situation while I ran the TSB. I think it was sometime in the late 90s. A grandmother who lived north of Howell (not far) called the RR and was eventually forwarded to my phone line. Her grandson lived further west of the tracks than her and had recently got his drivers ...

Re: Angles On Track

Love how they blame the railroads for not installing crossing gates at every crossing..... A railroad in Michigan can not install any highway traffic control device without having been ordered to do so by the governing authority (state, county...). That government entity must then also pay for it. ...

Re: Things you find while watching trains...........

Amazin. My runaway drone got all the way to Michigan on its batteries.

Please have the next vacationer to Florida bring it down with him/her.

I also lost a lot of other stuff last time up there. Just send all of the good stuff you find.

I will be so grateful.

Thank you, thank you.

Cat died.

Got a new cat yesterday. Very soft grey tabby girl cat. Can anyone think of a good
rail related name for my cat?

Wife wants Heidi because it likes to hide under the bed. That sucks.

I suggested Dog, Spit, Buffalo Wanda and Piggy. No go.

Help.

Don, some of all commodities are "Just in Time." I believe the distinction you have made is that some commodities (like plastics)
usually travel in mileage only cars rendering the time component otherwise unimportant.

The girl was in Fenton High School. She went on her smart phone and changed her Facebook "status" to "dead."
Within five minuets she walked in front of the CN train.

It has been a long time since I played a part in a lockout.

Re: Congress wants TSA for AMTRAK

With "problems" like air and water pollution, hunger, the ozone layer.... all caused by the one real problem, overpopulation, the TSA should be dissolved. Live ammo should be issued to border guards and ADC and child deductions should be eliminated. China did it right 50 years ago and went from an e...
