THAT'S the problem! that and the morons who actually expect me to ENJOY them.

Oh, let me call the waaaaa-mbulance.
lol classic.
i'll shut up when everyone quits telling me to ENJOY those things. stop calling them cool and stop calling me lucky!
*heavy sigh*
so....how 'bout those GEVOs, eh?
no no. i'll honestly answer you, WCL. the SD60 cant go wrong for my favorite. bear in mind just the SD60. nothing else from the EMD 60 series diesels. GP60s are nice, but i despise the SD60F and SD60M. but nothing beats the SD60 for me. it looks good in even UP paint! i was ecstatic when i saw UP 2201 on a train in Altoona!
Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.
LOL!
That is funny my friend.
wasnt that, like, the first CSX joke i cracked since you joined?
live a little, my friend! it's funny! and CSX kinda is PC in a way
Jesus Atmo, seriously....
"paint determines the reporting mark, not the owner!"
Nice logic there too, I didnt know somebody made you boss of how railroads identified themselves.
I dont know how many more times your going to have to be told how good you have it. Those Chessie units should really prove my point. "Zombies" as you call it are living history, especially the patched ones. I havent gotten a chance to see any patched CNW SD40-2s yet, only a C40-8 and a few patched C44-9Ws. Paint should mean nothing, and CNW SD40-2s (besides the bell) sound no different than any other SD40-2. With you wanting the old stuff gone all the time, its not helping the situation of old stuff disapearing everyday that goes un published online. WHEN Mopacs get retired? WHEN? Where'd all the SD50s and SD40-2s go? Leasing companies sure, but the lease market is falling steadily, and at a fast rate. Most all of the old Mopac engines are gone from the roster, only leaving a handful of Geeps.
I am sick of the constant complaining of a situation I would love to be in, seeing trains powered by 3 plus standard cab EMDs. The only trains I get to see with power like that (and its getting much rarer lately) is the WC Transfer that comes in from Stevens Point. That sure made me realise how quickly things change the second you ignore them.
Be happy that you see "CNW" everyday, whereas I barely get a glimpse of the WC anymore.

Ya, how about those GEVOs which are replacing everything good the CSX has (leasers and tons of SD40-2s of their own), but besides that.....
Atmo, to be dead honest, most railfans dont like seeing the past leave for good. You obviously have different views, which is fine. Just try to stop whishing for change at a snap of your thumb, it goes too fast anywho.
Alright, enough with that.
Alec....Please dont drag this on and drag him to fire this flame back up.....PLEASE lets just drop this dang topic and get back to the other one.....
THANK YOU

i PMed him with my refute. which i will be doing from now on to anyone who wants to butt heads with me....
trainfest is creeping up as we type! and this year looks promising! a P2K CNW SD60 must be mine! seriously, you can get some AWESOME deals on this stuff there! if you know where to look, of course
Here are two photos of the EJ&E power that payed me a visit at Eola, with none other then 659 in the lead, again! I've seen this engine so many times this year it isn't even funny, but I hope that keeps up! The second photo is of it departing with 654 leading.
You know what guys? I fully support a good hearty flame war. Just not here.
Might I reccomend the Executive Suite? http://theexecutivesuite.smfhost.com/index.php We could use some new blood, the same idiots all the time gets really boring! (alexander is there, but he doesn't post much.)
