Is that good enough? An E8 might be better for a passenger train, especially one from the Southern Crescent!

If we’re going steam:

THE SOUTHERN SERVES THE SOUTH!

Tonight take the WINE TRAIN. The engineer is the desiginated driver. Have a Happy New Year.

Good Evening All,

I like the new location and the old diner is looking a million bucks. Nothing like a trip down the tracks to make you clean up. Still cleaning rearranging here as well whilst we wait for one of the BILs’ to show up. Tomorrow it’s off to Montclair for more visiting so I need to sneak in what time I can. CUL, [:D]J.R.

Hey PA

I’ll take one of those t- bones. Nice place.Since were in a dining car.How about having some excursions pulled some nice locomotives[:)]

26

Look at this not even offiacally supose to be opened till midnight E.S.T. and were on page 2 already. [:D]

I have a few of southern U-36-B’s (like 3 of them) and a southern 2-4-0 in my railroad. 3 Virginian rectifiers, and a B&O GP-9 if any of them would help. 6 Southern passenger cars and 7 B&O.

27

And if you really want to stand out…TURBINES are the way to go. [:D]

28

We don’t want to stand out THAT much, do we? cough-UGLY-cough

At least its eastern.

29

Wouldn’t a Big Boy pulling a single passenger car be kind of like rabbit hunting with a howitzer?

And a turbine? I want to stand out as a shining star, not a freak of nature. [;)]

30

Y’all had better be careful when your dealing with the turbines…

Jawn Henry is rumored to have a foul temper.

[:-,] [swg]

31

Ah yes,…the Jawn Henry,…very possibly the ugliest thing to ever ride a rail, but thats just my opinion.

32

Hi

Up here the new year is already 1 hour old.[:)]

Good Evening All

Well ain’t this fancy shmancy. Not for long! Once we get the coal dust dug in and grease rub into those fancy tableclothes the place will look as good as old!

Anthracite…mmm I think I’ll paint the ceiling with anthracite!

Everyone have a happy and Healthy New Year

Fergie and Family
