I've been working on the Railroad all the live long day!
I've worked for Union Pathetic for 9 going on 10yrs now.
How about anyone else? Any good stories?

I used to flatten pennies on the tracks when I was a kid.

So, I taught my youngest how to do it.


He had great fun.

There was a collision in Colorado on Tuesday the 11th. A commuter train for the last 8 miles before impact fell asleep and ran into the back of a stack train, the containers took off the top of the engine and decapitated the crew on board. Instant fatalities.

Uprr in kcmo this summer, got into alot of trouble with the Fra(Federal railraod administration) there were diesel mechanics using dead peoples employee id numbers to sign off on bad ordered engines, there are a few looking at Prison time. Needless to say now we get a little bit better power for our trains.. Imagine that!

I collect ho gauge and s gauge trains..I have a pike set up..But I know it`s not the same. We used to put coins on the Pennsy tracks here in Canton and one time we put peanutbutter on the tracks to see if the trains would slide. Of course they didn`t.bigsmile
