Re: Railroadfan.com 2019 Meet - Durand Saturday May 25th
Tam and I will more than likely be making the trip up there from Toledo. Unless we have family things going on, but I will try to make sure we don't have something on the 25th.

CSX Heritage units? Sort of...
Friend recently posted a picture of a CSX locomotive in dark future paint. With a small SCL decal on the front of the cab. Has anyone seen or heard anything about this. Is it an weak attempt at a heritage fleet?

Re: Napoleon, Defiance and Western: The Definitive Thread
I know it's a little after the fact. Isn't that derailment the same spot the MAW 16 almost went on its side a few years ago?
