Re: My Dream Railroad
I'd ask Warren Buffett if he'd adopt you. He said he bought BNSF because his parents never bought him a train set when he was a kid.

Re: UP Ousts President. Alan Shaw Stands Up to Shareholders
Union Pacific bowed to share holder pressure and ousts it's president because UP trails the other class one's in most performance categories. Everybody works for somebody.

Re: wild package ride
Probable is meds. If it was toys, I wouldn't be happy. I agree it was probably damaged but I also note the correct post office did get it first. But what did they do with it?

Re: Where Is It?
Ah, gotcha AARR. Wasn't aware that area was called Arthur. Not Muskegon area... definitely within 40 miles of GR, in fact, a lot closer than 40. "Within" is definitely the key word. :) Looks to be just east of the corner of Nason & Voorheis NW in Grand Rapids. https://www.420property.com/420-conten...
