Here's a link to an article of a sort we don't often see in our major metropolitan area free weekly tabloids:

I can still bring up the article by using the URL <http://www.sfbg.com> and scrolling down the left side of the page and clicking on the word "techsploitation."

No, that short address doesn't work as a link either. Maybe I left off a slash on the end. Let's try <http://www.sfbg.com/> and see if that works.

Nope. I can only get through when I type in the URL http://www.sfbg.com and scroll down the left side of the page that comes up until I see the word "techsploitation" and click on it. If no one can find it that way let me know and I'll copy the article and paste it in here some place. Thanks.

Used the link from the previous and scrolled down as suggested. Interesting.

his use of the word "Trains" would be incorrect. But I agree, and I think most of us wi***he steam age was still here. Yeah GPs and SDs and AMDs are alright, but they took away much of the magnificance of the railroad, led to the destruction of Roundhouses and Coal tipples, and also led to more small towns beeing just a passthrough, instead of a place where the trains had to stop because it was the nearest roundhouse for a distance. That is why I miss "Trains"
