THE NOBODY REALLY CARES THREAD

[phbrown]

will any of those trains potentially come through kansas? I live close to a major rail hub

A Burlington Northern Santa Fe classification yard, the largest yard on the BNSF system.There is an intermodal hub center, a hump with 60 sorting tracks, a car repair shop, and a large diesel shop on the premises. Crews based at the yard run to Arkansas City KS, Newton KS, Emporia KS, Wellington, KS; Oklahoma City, OK; and Brookfield, MO. It is the primary BNSF railroad yard in Kansas City, being supplemented by the smaller Murray Yard. A great deal of transfer traffic moves between both yards.

As a kid, I never really liked meatloaf, mainly because my mom used onions and green peppers, which I loathed at the time.  Nowadays, I actually like it.  But, my wife doesn't add the green peppers (which I now like) or the onions (which I now tolerate).

NRC but I love meatloaf. It's one of my favorite entrees. I use green, red, orange, and yellow peppers, onions, fresh garlic, and whole red potatoes, and oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. (My friend, who is an amazing chef, turned me on to the oatmeal, which I thought was gross until I tasted it. Delish!!!!).

Mederma works wonders.

If that doesn't cut it for you, visit an aesthetician and get a TCA peel.

I totally agree.

And it's a breeding ground for passive-aggressiveness.

Not that anyone cares.

It is possible as locomotives from one railroad could show up on another railroad almost at random.  Sometimes, they lease equipment from each other and in other cases, one or more lines may have what is called a run-through agreement, motive power pool, or trackage rights  that allows them to operate their trains over another carriers line.

Why do you know all this? 

[funkStrat_97]

Why do you know all this? 

Because I am a serious railfan.  Not to mention that there are many resources available that give insight into the hows and whys of railroading including:

*Railway historical societies.

*Publications (books, magazines, etc.).

*Internet forums.

*Contacts with current and former railroad employees.

I use oatmeal as well...we used oatmeal when we made meatloaf during my early military days

OK, y'all....don't nobody really care ('cept, of course for me and maybe one other person on LGM) , but the conclusion of Norfolk Southern's heritage unit program is in sight.  Today, the Penn Central with its "mating worms" is back in the form of Norfolk Southern SD70ACe #1073 seen here at the Progress Rail facility in Muncie, IN.



The PC was the result of a desperate merger between the iconic Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads in 1968 (the much smaller New Haven, Hartford & Connecticut joined the mess later).  Two years later, Penn Central's bankruptcy was the largest ever in US corporate history at that time.  Penn 'Central exited the railroad business in 1976 when its rail assets and operations were taken over by the Consolidated Rail Corporation which is now part of Norfolk Southern.  Penn Central continued on in other non-rail business  ventures (although they did own a few miles of railroad rights-of-way) and eventually changed its name to American Premier Underwriters in 1994.  Among of of PC's non-rail holdings is Madison Square Gardens.

Went to emusic to buy some of today's new releases, and come to find they've issued me some "courtesy credit", enough to download both albums. It's the little things.
