[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar ...Why put down the community for wanting to improve the visual environment. Doesn't sound unreasonable to me. [/quote] I agree completely. I think that some of the members here just get a little carried away, cheerleading for the railroads. Whether one is talking about a residential group concerned over ever louder diesel horns, canyon preservationists, or sensible minds opposed to the high speed passenger rail farce, there is a group here that will boo the side making demands of the railroads (no matter how sensible the intent) like some villain in a B movie. It didn't occur to me until I thought about the big fuss that the shutterbugs make about fresh vs faded/rusted paint on locomotives. They understand the 'problem' just fine when it affects them directly. But since that ugly bridge in Henderson isn't in their back yard, they make fun of the people not so fortunate. AKA: "Imagine those morons in that city expecting one of our beloved railroads to paint a bridge...oooouu, anybody hear if the next UP heritage paint job is coming out soon, can't wait!!" No mystery there, whatsoever...
