Trains Magazine General Discussion

I got a sardonic kick out of reading this odd account by imagining that railfans aren’t confined to terra firma.To coin a pun, this gives our hobby a whole new dimension. If true, maybe we need a new insertion in the rulebooks regarding signalling space craft.

Well, lets look at this in a positive way… We know that aliens are also interested in the best way to move freight. Across earth anyway. Theay probably have “traplains” A plain train. If that’s possible.

What is a General Motors model3900 engine?That loco looked more like a F40 than anything else,but not really close to anything. I smell a rat.[alien]

Steam vs. diesel powered flying saucers; can steam make a come back?

Which route to the North Star was superior and why was the Milky Way Road ever abandon?

Since the introduction of individual telportation, is there really a role for passenger flying saucers?

That scene supposedly took place outside Muncie, IN. The C&O had a line through Muncie, too. (Cincy-Chicago)

Coincedence? I think not.[alien]

With Obama’s focus on science,and his willingness to spend enormous sums of money,he just might fund the North Star.An extremely high speed rail line to Ursa Minor with a stop at Ursa Major.[alien]

That’ll have a price tag that is out of this world.

What’s funny is that the Monon Route has a similar story. Ocrroborated by both engine and caboose.
