Being old is when you didn't loose it, it's that you just can't remember where you put it.

Y'all can be here for AGES and still have only few stars. Whenever I AM on,
I only post less than 4 at a time. So, hey, don't worry about the stars. JUST
keep coming back and have fun .

I got mine today ! [;)]
A bit of an anticlimax actually. The earth didn't move, there were no fireworks and there was no E mailed gift certificate either !
Who cares this is a lot of fun -- even with out the perks.

[:D][:D][:D]

I think that at least one other member got his today, also. [?]

Fergus,
In answer to your 3rd question: - a mile is 5280', assume 50' per car (over the couplers) -- so that sounds like 105 coal cars.
Mind you, I'm not so sure that she will be quite as impressed with the 105th coal car, as she might have been (in your private plane) [;)] at a an altitude of 5280 feet !!

yea should have said the Mile long Club is paseenger cars, at 85' each that would be about 62 cars, making that end one a very special private car would help with her. [:D][:D][:D][8D][8D][8D][:D][:D][:D]
