Would you rather remove my restraining order and railfan freight trains with AARR or have David, Michael and AARR meet in Troy and watch Amtrak?

The first. I think AMTRAK would not hold our interest

Small jet. Is a F4 Phantom a small jet :) .

Would you rather railfan with your favorite buddies at Durand where you see a train an hour, maybe, or people who just talk politics you do not agree with but a busy junction like Delray?

I think the second. I hope they still look like similar to what is out there today.

Would you rather future engines look similar to today's or completely different?

Both would be great, but I will select the paved path.

Gas. Can you imagine you and 5 million other people in electric cars backed up on the freeway trying to evacuate?

A great car. I can live vicariously through someone else model railroad. :)




Would you rather visit ancient Rome or ancient Greece? Or neither :lol:

I'm going to say both - I just want to see the aqueducts, which both of them seem to have built heavily. I guess I'll go with Greece as I might run into Socrates and see Bill and Ted come back in time and help me return to the current time period.

I lived that way for many years. Can’t really say I love any particular railroad to begin with.


Would you rather move to a southern milder climate where you knew no-one and had no ties to the area but could enjoy the outdoors year round. Or stay up in the mid latitudes with all of your family and friends but suffer seasonal depression, cabin fever, and finger numbing frostbite weather annually?

The first option. I'll be ok. I'll spend my time looking for Big Foot.

Would you rather have to bike at least one day a week for a minimum of 50 miles every week of the year, including winter, or never bike at all?
