Dude; <br /> <br />How many clues do you need that people are laughing at you? <br />[quote]QUOTE: The other day we had to pick up a Conrail-painted NS unit at Kalamazoo's Botsford Yard because our P42 died; we tied it on the front of the 28. I didn't want to say anything before, knowing how rumors get started... but we did it to show everyone out here that NS is buying Amtrak and then repainting all the equipment French Blue.[/quote] <br />[quote]QUOTE: AS CEO of Norfolk Southern, Paul ,I will tell you that we have already taken over EVERY RAILROAD IN THE WORLD, but ya know, mums the word.[/quote] <br /> [quote]QUOTE: paul your right the union pacific and bnsf are trying to buy out the ns and the csx railroads . they wont tell you up front and it is against company policy to say anything. with in 5 years there will be only one railroad running coast to coast made of 2 railroads the bn and the up. they will keep the markings of their home frieght line but will run under a new name. also in breaking news the congress has passed a bill to run amtrak nationally and there is a 2.5billion dollar grant to lay high speed rail from L.A. callifornia to hawaii. it will be cheaper to take the train instead of flying and to keep cost down they will be using mexican labor. it will be all electric and with work ongoing 24 hrs aday the job should be done in 3 years. dont tell anyone this is top secreate[/quote] <br />And I especially liked this one, saying you would be sent a response on the 32nd of March: <br />[quote]QUOTE: Well, to all of you doubters. I sent my own letter to the NS and they said that they weren't gonna answer Paul's letter until the 32nd of March. Here's what they told me. There is NO Merger planned with any other Rail company....NONE! What they did say is that they were planning on merging with Tyco and Mattel. The merger will result in entirely new train consists. The new NS Tyco trains will all feature "real locomotive sounds," whistles and bells and real smoke coming out of the exhaust stack. The new trains will be powered by 1,000 AA batteries and have cabbage patch kids at the throttle. The new paint scheme will resemble the old NS scheme withthe addition of a big happy clown face on the front of every motor. There will be a sweepstake to be an engineer for the day. The official game pieces will be in specially marked boxes of sugarsmacks cereal, many will enter, few will win......good luck.[/quote] <br />Some of this stuff is so farfetched it will <i>never</i> happen. You are being seriously mocked with these ridiculous stories, and you seem to be the only one that doesn't get it. <br /> <br />I mentioned earlier that I thought you were naive. If you don't understand the term, let me translate it for you: <font color="red">Naive = Clueless</font id="red">. And yes, the members of this board are continuing to laugh at you because you are so clueless. <br /> <br />I know, these are harsh words. But as Mookie mentioned earlier, this is a tough world. And by continuing to tell us you're still waiting for a response from NS, you're just telling us again how naive (or clueless) you are. <br /> <br />James <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by paulstecyna21</i> <br /><br />thank you <br />[/quote]
