[quote user="tree68"] Pretty cool this morning - temperature-wise, that is. I think a few people had a problem with some slippery roads, by the sound of the scanner. I was a little concerned last night on my way home - as I drove up to Canton (NY) for a seminar I was in and out of some showers. It was atually pretty neat - you could see the rain falling from various clouds all around. That was at 6. At 10, when I was headed home, the temperature had dropped below freezing, but the roads

[quote user="Dakguy201"] Is the reason this legal business is so "lucrative" is that the lawyer's fee is paid by the company as a portion of a legal judgment ? I take it that the Federal Employers Liability Act is the railroad version of workers compensation, but each claim has to be judged as if a common tort had been committed; hence the need for lawyers on all sides.

[quote user="espeefoamer"] It depends on what you want .You have a large quantity of freight that has to be moved in a short period of time. Do you buy a large number of engines that cost less but aren't as reliable,or fewer units that are more durable and last longer? [/quote] Of course, that is a gross oversimplification of reality.

[quote user="matthewg"] I went out today and followed the line for awhile, and took some photos for reference. I found that the portion that runs between ride road and fisher street (about 3/4 of a mile) is in pretty good shape other than a bad tie here and there, since it parallels a bike path the grass it kept well cut and the track is basically weed free for the most part,and it seems like a good place to give the speeder rides I mentioned earlier, the only problem is that most of the
[quote user="coborn35"] What a bunch of bs. Sandberg doesnt need anymore money he can take care of the 261 himself. [/quote] It is always easier for someone else to spend THEIR $$ (or time, or effort) for your entertainment is'nt it?!? Whether someone has money or not does not give others the right to appropriate it. If we don't support things we want, they will go away.
