1. I KNOW that I'm going to regret asking this... WHY would I put my tongue on an iron railing? <br /> <br />2. Thinking about the Kansas City possibility reminded me that a college friend was forcibly deported by your immigration people from Kansas City. Arrived back at Heathrow in what she was wearing when they kicked the door in... had to call her parents collect. Funny part was... her husband was programming computers for the CIA or FBI... she got a very nice first class flight back... new front door... <br /> <br />Meanwhile... back at the trains... <br /> <br />When did the Rock finally get absorbed/rescued/? into the CNW? <br /> <br />I would never have thought of Kansas...seems a long way out of CNW territory...was reason for getting the Spine Line expansion into more of the same, strategic or opportunistic? <br /> <br />3. Could someone suggest a good railroad atlas to help me find my way round all of his/these places? <br /> <br />4. It may have been a Kansas scene that I stumbled on in an internet photo collection that set up another aspect of my present plans... <br /> a couple of SDs heavy hauling in a deep concrete trench...loads of retaining walls and cross bridges... having seen Terminator 1, 2 and 3, CHIPS and CSI etc it set me thinking about all those nice big storm drains... so what happens when railroads running in an industrial area through lined cuts need to cross a big drain/river that is managed? My answer is that it should mean that I get lots of nice bridges between nice deep, narrow cuts that hide the departure from scene or make sensible ((licence) reason for tunnel mouths so close to bridges without being in mountains. <br /> a. does this make any sense? <br /> b. does anyone have any nice pictures of this sort of scene...or know where I might find them..apart from by walking round Kansas.... that I don't mind... it's the walk there that's a bit long and wet...don't mind Cessnas... dead unsure about Boeings. Yeah, okay, the statistics show... <br />
