HI ALL,
Railroads will have to return to Steam – Coal Powered in order to conserve our oil reserves. This will allow gasoline prices to fall below $1.00 per gallon.
Oh yea
I did this tongue in cheek, but check this out on the 4449

Good one, I got my 5 year old daughter this morning. I told her she had a snow day so school was canceled!! They’re so gullible at that age. Of course here in Buffalo it might not have been a joke since we have had some pretty good snow storms this late in the season.
My son got me and my wife 9 years ago today.
Today is his birthday!

Spankybird,
Interestingly I’m right now working on getting some article together for my magazine, the Military Engineer, regarding power stations–coal, hydro, nuke.
If anyone has a favorite power plant they’d like featured in this magazine, I’d be happy to do so, email me at dvergun@same.org.
Coal plants, btw, are numerous along rail lines. I haven’t seen too many power plants on toy train layouts, but a coal, hydro, or even a nuke plant like at San Onofre, Calif, which is near the tracks, would be pretty cool.

No fooling Gomez, it’s snowing in Cleveland, OH.
Confirmed that snowing with my brother in Akron. (Mostly to gloat.)
It is near 80, and sunny here in Denver.

If we want to conserve oil reserves or lower train operating costs, why not electrify more trackage. The investment would be high, but cost savings would be significant, or is electric power too costly here.
Seems like any train video of Europe is mostly electric trains.

Springtime on the Mainline of CSX entering Cleveland at 5:00 pm today looking west. [^][:O]
Sun Shinning in FL. Sorry gang. I’ll send you a ray or two. Someone has to do this job. Why not me? God bless you all.
Buckeye, you should have told me you were in town. You know I work on the west side of Cleveland (W130 & Brookpark)
