Thank you.

Although it's not unusual to get CN units on the Chicago Line, they usually pass through as quickly as they arrive. Here are the pictures of the strange duo sitting in the siding at Archbold, OH. They are: CN 2117 (C40-8) and NS 5318 (GP38-2). These two units make for a unique combination of power a...

I believe the signals at Pittsfield Jct are Semi-Automatic. On the Annie side, the signals are automatic, and on the former NYC Saline side, they are controlled by a box near the diamond (to clear the signal). If you are seeing a " Clear" or "Restricting" indication on the Annie side, it means a tra...

Amtrak wasting money? Here's how government entities work: You don't get rewarded for being frugal. You spend all the money or you will not get the same amount of money for the next year. If you use less money in a year (aka save money), you receive less money the next year. Congress views saving mo...

Welcome to the modern world. Responsibility and common sense does not apply anymore. Just blame someone who has the most money and go after them. I call this the new "Legal Lottery." Just contact an attorney on how to play.

No dangerous tank cars spilling their contents. This means boring news for the media. As far as their concerned, nothing happened last night.

Nope. 1974 is just a year before my time.

Thanks for making me feel old. And Yes, I do remember this horrible accident.

If you were close by me, I could test out the transmit side of the radio for you since I'm a licensed ham. Also, I would make an offer on the radio, but I have two Yaesu 2800s in my collection. There is not a need for another one for myself. Recommendation for anyone looking for radio for scanning t...

"Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding" - They must be talking about the idiot holding the gate. He's a dingle dork alright.

It would be nice to save the machine and model board, but I wouldn't want anyone risking their life or limb to do it. With the condition of the tower, it may not be possible to save those items. As much as I hate to see it go, the tower is a major safety hazard. I can't imagine any historical societ...

I'm not worried about getting pictures of the signal bridges in the area. They have been already well documented. Just ask MDH.

Here's some picture of the 21T derailment. The derailed cars are located between Williams Co Rd 8 and 9 (Melbern). As of 5 PM, RJ Corman arrived and started to set up on the north side of Co Rd 8. Hulcher had not arrived be the time I left around 5:20 PM. 1. Northward view from the south side of the...

Oh that's the old unit from Argo Corn Products...Chicago, IL. Wore BRC colors with Corn Products lettering.
Just like this: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=65378

BTW, the unit is a SW1000, not a SW1500.

While traveling home from Wauseon (OH), I noticed something interesting. I see 14Q is stopped near the milepost 322 signals. In the consist, LOCX 68 is trailing in tow. I quickly turn around to go back to CR 17 to get some pictures. While there, 14Q was waiting for 39E to pass CP 320. Once 39E was w...

Sounds like a dingle-dork to me. Maybe, he's part of the 'we tod clan'.

Both the editing and composition of this video sucks. Does this guy expect it to be on Green Frog or something?

Here's a couple of mine.
