Home School Train show this last weekend
Was able to go to the Riverbend Train show this last Saturday at the Home School building. The first thing I noticed was that it's a much smaller show then I remember it. Anybody else notice this?

Re: "Dangerous" Trains in West Michigan
Anybody remember the Dow trains that used to run north from Grand Rapids over to Midland back in the 70's / 80's? They where MUCH more dangerous than oil. News 8 is just creating the news again instead of reporting it.
