Mr. Hubbert, I disagree. 459 members of this group can´t contribute at any time. In opposition to the members you mentioned and that helped you and others to...
It's really great to find out that at least one of the 'Ashia' Express cars still exists, or at least did so at the end of 2002.There's no doubt that this is...
Checked into the Post and Telecommunications hotel (turn left outside station and it's 200 metres setback on the left at a road junction). I didn't know when I...
I believe I saw one at Suihua depot about 10 years ago. I was convinced it was Japanese by the markings on the bogies. Mitsubishi's (three diamond mark) sticks...

Dear group, As part of Bernd's tour and one of the people on the motorbikes in Huanan, I was a part of this incident. We most certainly spoiled the video shots...
Dear Group Members, may we please stop the discussion about the so called Huanan incident now, please! As most arguments were already mentioned, I just want to...
I have to admit that the conduct of some railfans/gricers in their zeel to obtain "the perfect" photo really surprises me. Courtesy and respect for others...

Hey Guys you can blame me for this. I wrote to the NY Times in August to alert them to the event. I did not hear back, but they did follow up. If I have more...
Just curious, but does anybody think that the high oil prices, driven by china's imports amongst other factors, will have any effect on slowing down the urge...
... Unfortunately I think oil prices could easily double, and this would not stop the JiTong from running diesels and returning to steam. I don't think the...
