I saw a TRAIN! It only had like 6 cars attached to it. and the guy stopped the train to go to the bathroom at the gas station or something and on his way back I asked him "Hey do you know Zack Segur?" he says "Um... no...?'" then I say "Have you ever heard of RailRoadFan.com? He's the admin of it and it has over 1000 people on the site, talking about everything there is to know about TRAINS!" and he shakes his head and says "um okay, never heard of it, don't care"

The train was in Twin Lake MI. And I wish my fricken phone wasn't "dying" because I wanted to take a picture of it but since it had low battery I couldn't. But I swear on my life the Engine of the train was backwards! maybe not idk, but it was like GR with 4 numbers following it.

And yes, locomotives have a designated front and back but they are more than capable of running either direction. It's no biggie.

While Slyguy is funny, he actually did do this, not even lying. I just shook my head when he told me this story... thought it was amusing enough that he should post it up here.

You'll gain many railroad friends if you wipe the drool before saying hello.
