QUOTE: Originally posted by jeaton The following was found on a piece of paper blowing in a cold southern Wisconsin wind. "On February 14, 2003, Mark W. Hemphill sent his 100th post to the Trains.Com Forums. "Hemphill brings to the forum knowledge from his experience in the railroad industry where he has reportedly had more jobs than Dave Gunn or Ed King. He adds to that experience with research into the vast written documentation on railroads, supplemented with field research and interviews with top railroad officials. Except for something about the weight of a ton of wheat, his accuracy with facts and details is renowned. Fearlessly, he will weigh with in a voice of reason in the often bitterly disputed subjects, such as who made the best switch lanterns. The quality of his writing would put most forum contributors to shame, except rail fans have very little of that. "Hemphill is also the Editor of Trains Magazine where he writes a monthly dead on editorial and frequently writes feature articles for the magazine. He spends the rest of the time on the job pacifying a whole bunch of incredibly picky rail fan subscribers who constantly threaten cancellation because the magazine content has too much of this and not enough of that. Undaunted, he shrugs the problem off with some comment about why he gets the big bucks. "It is rumored that he writes a book or two on his lunch break. "As his reward for his posting, he has been given a second blue star. However because of space considerations his stars only appear on his profile. A gala reward ceremony is planned for the near future. Give it up for Mark
