... Folks, I'm sorry about my original post here. I "attempted" to cut out most of the posting about the governor and his grade crossing program only leaving...
CSX is going to be bought by a hedge fund. It's not running nearly as efficiently as it could be. It has antiquated corporate governance and does not deliver...
The other important thing to remember is that the so-called UP Heritage units were just a way for their legal department to keep enforcing their iron fisted...
It has been awhile since I have been in KY, has RJC done any trackwork on the Old Road? If not it will be interesting to see how far the 'big' 2-10-2 makes it...
Oh great, Two screwed up management teams getting together to really screw up rail transport. UP could not handle the SP merger without coming to a halt and...

Well I just had an unexpected treat. And one which is very ironic, considering the thread I started (and haven't even gotten to read the replies to yet) about...
