Re: NARCOA speeder excursions in MI and IN

Speeders are fun for about 3 hours, then that jointed rail feel really gets to one...

Then there is when this happens as well.

Re: CN Oil Derailment

Frankly, The NIMBY's have reason.

If I was near tracks that were carrying crude, I might just be one of those Nimbys. There have been enough major accidents, and its apparent that the local municipalities don't know how to deal with it just yet.

Sheltering & Feeding Vets and Homeless is a much bigger issue to me then worrying about the darn circus, but that's just me.

Re: GDLK/NS 2015 OPS

Something was Westbound at about 0230 the other night from Augusta...sure didn't sound like Amtrak either. NS out and about that late? They went well West of Augusta, and they were not breaking any speed records.

Re: Video tips

If you put it online... A) No music, PERIOD. B) No intro more then 5 seconds. Those two things make me close it out, no matter what it is. I am looking to watch a RR video, not a music video, not a 2 minute introduction for a 3 minute video. And Tripod and dont move the camera.. let the train go by..

Re: Cass Scenic Railroad's Last Year as a State Park

Ownership was not transferred, its just a lease to operate it. Seeing what they have done to the other roads, I dont think it will be a bad thing.
