My full wave loop antenna is positioned 30' below a ridge that is approximately 1400' from my indoor location. I receives a DD 12 miles away. How is this possible?

Former is a hybrid of foamer. Former just won't let go of the past and still sees some sort of hopeless dream that their favorite rail line will return to a glory it never had. The Peavine and the former B&O Ohio Division are both prime examples of both. You try and explain 15 to 20 times why thing...

I checked the Michigan Air Emmissions data. It looks as though Abbott quit burning coal in 2011 through 2015. No newer data has yet been released. Either Abbott restarted the boiler on coke (not likely) or the coke is headed elsewhere. Is there s foundry nearby? Believe it or not, there are exempti...

Frac sands can come from just about anywhere silica sand is mined. Transportation costs are the leading factor and whoever can transport it for the cheapest price does. To simplify things, sands that are 100 mesh usually are used for NG and less than 100 mesh is used for crude. The deeper the well a...

Drone video on twitter shows 91 entered the siding were the freight was parked. It appears Csx 13 is the damaged loco.

I would like to see how many anti-Amtrak people were on that train.

Everyone aboard voted for the last round of Amtrack funding. You do know there are 184 congressional districts in which not one person gets on or off a Amtrack train.

Wonder what that half acre went for?

Officials say he is out of danger now and gonna recover. He also has been charged with trespassing and ordered to pay 500 rupees. A study was done and from 2014 to 2016 and there were 76 deaths in India involving selfies and trains. This guy was lucky.

Nice catch with the Abrams. Those appear to be brand new version threes.

Reports are it being 233. Very possible it blew over and then stacked up.

How long does a driver need to wait before passing a school bus with red overhead lights flashing? Not that a bus would stop for 15 minutes with the lights on ... but if it did, could someone pass? Do not pass means do not pass. I passed a bus some years ago driving a commercial vehicle. The bus ha...

Does anybody know if the connection to CSX was made? The site was chosen for direct access to allow inbound wheat shipments and outbound shipments of flour. The site is less than a mile east of Willard yard. The mill was completed in July 2016 but this photo from google in November of 2017 shows no ...

ODOT probably plans on paving 104 sometime this year and with the line being out of service they will tearing out the crossing with the understanding they are responsible for putting it back in if needed. They did the same on the Ohio South Central at Oak Hill on that out of service section. IIRC, ...

Everyone knows the golden rule, when the money shot counts, one cannot lose focus and have a time stamp on the money shot. I wanna see the train.

Yeah the money shot, crooked and a time stamp. SMH.

I used the actual photo of the scene, not Google earth. The actual photo shows about 4 loco lengths of travel. In this actual photo of the scene there is more than 4 lengths between the lead loco and the trailing loco. https://static.seattletimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/12182017_derailaerial...

I still don't believe the speed they have now corrected. Neither the lead locomotive, nor any of the passenger cars even made it to the far side of the road. stopped about three to four locomotive lengths from where it left the tracks, The locomotive traveled farther than your estimate of 71 - 94 y...

You are correct on

"its always been done this way" kind of thinking.

...but back to reality; E double H a "Rail Barron"? Thanks for the chuckle.

It's likely a blind squirrel will still know which nuts to hoard, because blindness doesn't affect your sense of sniffing.
