So you too,are trying to deny the existence of CSX?[;)][alien]
Oh, the horror. First poor ol CSX has to put up with “sun kinks” in the rails. Next they have to put up with unwarranted UFO attacks. Now there’s an active group denying the CSX existence.
Myself, I personally believe that this is an NS conspiracy. Yup. Why else would they paint their locomotives black? So they can’t be seen at night. It’s a stealth thing. Has anyone ever heard anyone say anything bad about NS? No. Who was trying to buy up CONRAIL before CSX got it all? NS. Who was featured on the cover of TRAINS magazine this month? NS. Do you find any sun kinks on NS rails? No. Do hurricanes single out NS to wipe out a major main line that takes months to repair? No. Do disgruntled NS employees appear on these hallowed forums, complaining about dirty toilets in the noses of their locomotives? No.
Conspiracy or coincidence? I think not.
You be the judge. Personally, I’m going to start looking for NS locomotives with stealth coating and cackling employees on board. When I find it, you will be the first to know.
By the way, I would really appreciate some help with these buckles on my jacket… it makes it very hard to type.

Isn’t that because they don’t have toilets? The last NS unit I was in didn’t but, it did have illustrated instruction sheet on the wall in the short hood telling how to put a plastic bag in a bucket. Kind’a reminded me of seeing an instruction sheet on a bathroom wall in a doctors office. A how-to pee in a cup for women. Kind of makes you thankfull of the things you are born with and not ever fully understanding what it would be like not having!
GADZOOKS!!![{(-_-)}] Methinks, You Guys, need to carefully put down the Cool-Aid, and back away from the computers,before something swoops in,[alien][alien][alien] and beams you all to another place and another time.[}:)][}:)][banghead]. You never know about week-ends on this forum![#dots][X-)]
Try holding a pencil in your teeth, and going slowly, it works for me!

Awesome!![alien][alien] A thread where it’s appropriate to use the alien smiley. [alien][alien][alien]
I think those are actually homemade from aluminum and we learned to defeat their purpose a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Getting past tin hats was figured out by the NSA last September. Getting under a bed with a metal box spring works much better.
Thank you. I didn’t know that. [swg]
Cool! A fellow alien poster![8D] What planet are you from?[:D][alien]
How long ago was that? That is no longer true, the FRA and the Conrail split-up took that issue off the table, I truly believe it was a combination of the two, despite FRA regulations being changed at about that same time. Coincidence? With the tone of this topic, I think not.
OK no one here is admitting the obvious fact here… NONE of this wouldnt have happened if the saucer had just WAITED AT THE [censored] CROSSING for the train to pass!!!
If these grey idiots had just patiently waited the 2 minutes for the train to pass none of this controversy would be being discussed. But Noooo… Common sense is as rare in space as ozygen is on the moon. “Get out of our way, traindude…were bad! We got a Quantum Hemi Gravitar Flux-Module so F.U. we dont need to wait for some stupid train!” so they blow thru the crossing around the gates because they’re too cool to wait, and what happens? They GET WHACKED and now it the RRs fault. Of course the bozo’s from Planet Stupid wont come forward, “Oh, it will blow our insurance rates, dude!” So they skidaddle back to their homeworld and tell dad they musta been hit when they parked and went into McAsteroids for a shake. Yeah right, dam teenage drivers.

Just in case your in the market for new flying saucer, heres some advide on what to look for from a couple of experts:
From THHGTTG
Further down the chamber Ford Prefect had found something of
which he very much liked the look, several such things in fact.
“Zaphod,” he said in a quiet voice, “just look at some of these
little star trolleys …”
Zaphod looked and liked.
The craft they were looking at was in fact pretty small but
extraordinary, and very much a rich kid’s toy. It was not much to
look at. It resembled nothing so much as a paper dart about
twenty feet long made of thin but tough metal foil. At the rear
end was a small horizontal two-man cockpit. It had a tiny charm-
drive engine, which was not capable of moving it at any great
speed. The thing it did have, however, was a heat-sink.
The heat-sink had a mass of some two thousand billion tons and
was contained within a black hole mounted in an electromagnetic
field situated half-way along the length of the ship, and this
heat-sink enabled the craft to be manoeuvred to within a few
miles of a yellow sun, there to catch and ride the solar flares
that burst out from its surface.
Flare-riding is one of the most exotic and exhilarating sports in
existence, and those who can dare and afford it are amongst the
most lionized men in the Galaxy. It is also of course
stupefyingly dangerous - those who don’t die riding invariably
die of sexual exhaustion at one of the Daedalus Club’s Apres-
Flare parties.
Ford and Zaphod looked and passed on
That’s just what “They” (we?) want you to think…[8]
Remember, just because you are pairinoid, doesn’t mean they ARENT out to get you…[%-)]
I should also point out that foil doesnt work with the microwaves we use to monitor your brains, ever heard of “Jiffypop” ?
There was a thread about this here not too long ago.
I find it odd that it took over four years for this to get reported… ::shrug::
Anyway, did some Googling. Here is the original report:
http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/049/S49934.html
More details here:

Another article with a (probably unrelated) photo of the supposed lead engine.
Note the cab number…
Any thread that can drift from CSX and UFOs to NS toilets can’t be all bad. (Or all serious)
Mabee CSX should ask Amtrak if they could buy those surplus missle defence systems for there fleet.
I KNEW IT!!! Murphy is off his planet![alien][alien][alien][alien] South Dakota will make you do weird stuff. Now what was that other UFO story. the one about the BNSF crew that was stopped by an alien cab signal, near Murphy Siding? [alien][alien][swg][swg]
And a good thing the aliens stopped them too,as Murphy Siding is now about 5 miles from the nearest tracks!![;)]
