My parents think my wardrobe is too boring, but I say to them “welcome to the 21st century and my generation”

I will check in once in a while to see what new outfit you are wearing and if your train cap accessorizes with it.

live stream train stalker???? I’m going to start a livestream of me reading railroadfan all-day. I will wear clothes so that it’s not nsfw. Who’s in?

lol I like the way you think. That would be fun and maybe we could have my best friend forever SD80MAC on as a special guest from time to time. He could also be an alternative host for when Z or myself are on vacation.

I’d actually watch that.

Railfanning. Serious. Business.
@ GRHC « Wed 10:25:09 pm »
I like CJ Compton he’s a likable person and he loves his trains and he is fun to watch.
@ ~Z~ « Wed 10:05:44 pm »
read that :) so I ask him what other websites he uses for railfanning, he says he just started streaming today. And he won’t say the word "dude" and replaced it with "person"
@ GRHC « Wed 10:02:51 pm »
I told him he should wear a reflective vest when he films at night.
@ ~Z~ « Wed 9:56:41 pm »
I’m telling him to stay out of the road at night, and get a wind filter. Says he records with his phone and doesn’t have a wind filter.
@ ~Z~ « Wed 9:56:03 pm »
I’m writing in chat, and he’s responding to my comments. Thinks i’m thinking he’s outside right now, and that they aren’t just watching a camera.

One step ahead of you I’ve been watching him all day. I love it what a great idea I’ll just watch a rail cam and just live stream it using my phone.

That is a cantilevered steel arch truss design. Most of the weight of the main three spans goes through the two central piers. Lose either of them and all three spans will come down, just like they did
everything I’ve read describes it as continuous through truss span design.

I have to wear bandages for a week without changing them even after exercising, showers, etc. I knew Mrs AARR wouldn’t believe me so I had the doctor write a note. 🙂
@ AARR « Wed 10:28:37 am »
Back from the foot doctor: being treated for frostbite, warts and a deep bruise. The good news is if I do what the doctor says I can continue be active with no down time in several weeks. If I don’t follow directions all bets are off. I’ve been dealing with these issues for a long time so I will be following the doctors action plan.

Don’t be modest. You could start a whole new series of programs; So You Think You Can Railfan, America’s got Railfans, The Bachelor (Railfan edition)

If they started a show about train chasing, I’d love to see Danny Harmon, Southern Plains Railfan (if he ever reveals his face), Locopro and maybe a few others as cast

read that they looked into putting bumpers in around the base of the bridge back in the 80's, deemed too expensive.
@ Saturnalia « Wed 2:39:46 am »
This bridge was built a few years before Sunshine Skyway. And we never went back to fortify other major bridges on major shipping lanes. Probably should.
@ Saturnalia « Wed 2:38:05 am »
If we did they’d cost way, way too much
@ Saturnalia « Wed 2:37:52 am »
Bridges of that size, of any type, would not survive losing a pier. Basically no bridge will survive that. We don’t design bridges for that
