Re: Train Calendars you will never see

I think train derailments and wrecks would make for a real good topic for a calendar...really!

Already exists. Either Cranemasters or Hulchers (I think the former) had a calendar full of derailments.

Re: Train Calendars you will never see

Mudslides and mayhem sounds interesting.  Especially with background footnotes.

This Track Needs Work has possibilities, too.  Not sure you'd want to get too specific with locales, though, unless you featured mostly fallen flags.

And I had a calendar of attractive women on trains a few years ago - I believe all of them were RR employees, and all of them were suitably attired for working on the railroad.

Re: Train Calendars you will never see

I got a cranemasters calendar while I watched them clean up q 381 last January.The local mow guys and local crew of the Y101 say I should include a stuck truck at the viaduct picture in my calendars.

stay safe

Sounds like a good calendar in and of itself...  "Viaduct 12, Truckers 0"

Joe, are these drivers relying on GPS to direct them to your favorite viaduct?

Doable, but might have to be two months per shot. There is variety in builders and designs out there.
