I see 2 from the train crew, but no one from track crew. It's going to take even longer since the fireman left his shovel in the engine cab.Laugh

Well, someone is going to need to take a shower, but wait this from the time before showers and possibly running water. Better get out the tub...Whistling - Peter

In order to take care of this wash out we need a couple hundred thousand dollars of bailout money, one guy shoveling, and eight guys watching.

Sound's like CALTRANS worker's and $1,000,000.00 in worthless stocks would do the trick

I like the photo and the two guys deciding what to do.  As mentioned before, it's going to take some time with just the two of them...especially without any shovels Wink

Kind of reminds me of a similar photo I took in the snow.  Although they gave it their best shot, these guys had to wait until the snow melted before they could run trains again:

Wow, that's what, 12 scale feet of snow. Also that picture reminds me of when I watched Thomas (still have the book) and a story had him get stuck in a snow drift. - Peter
