Re: Video From Saginaw TX

I could have watched paint dry for 75 seconds instead. Whats the point of that video? 2 engines, no train slowly passing by a huge grain elevator.

Re: Video From Saginaw TX

I think 75 seconds of paint drying would be more interesting....better yet, artificial turf growing

Re: Video From Saginaw TX

I enjoyed it. It put me back right where I used to sit in an ambulance discussing "what if" scenarios with my partner; you know..like what if there was a tank car that catches fire and sets the grain silos on fire and how fast could we move to get away from it all before it blew. The Saginaw Fire Department is across the street from the silos and the trains. There is also a fantastic barbeque place next to the fire department.

True, it may not be the most exciting video, just a couple of locomotives looking like love bugs, (there are actually insects in Texas called that.) but thank you, you made my day with pleasant memories of one of my favorite places on earth. I miss watching trains there and visiting my friends at the fire department.
