That's an interesting photo. For one look at the sharp curve it's on. Looks like model railroading. The other thing look at the signals. rather interesting, because it looks like they aren't in use anymore.

It was fun back then, advising Doggy and provoking his ally Kevin by posting stuff just strange enough to put a lever under their risibles. Peace now with the rrman, but Kev where IS he? Summer school I hope!!!
Anyway Doggy, come back a little sadder, more enthusiastic, less number-of-postings oriented, and slowed enough to be thoughtful.
Yer forum friend.
Rix, grammar grocer, whatever.

I'm sure he'll be back eventually, I always loved his posts.

They were hollow, thoughtless, generic and full of typos, not to mention they were always said very loudly.

He always cracked me up. [:D]

I CAN DOO THAT TOO!! HUU-HUU-WEH-HUU (crusty the clown laugh)

It's okay Paxus Rixus, there be no offence be taken here.

what be this smelleth? lunchivus!

...Like that Acela photo...They are sharp looking...Just wish we had more of them around the country.
Rix......Are you referring to the long ago experimental train..."The Xplorer", if so...wasn't that New York Central...?

The best we can do is the Monday train that comes thru from St. Louis to Little Rock then to Texas and back.

No Acaleas here unless you want to electrify the Union Pacific Rails.

What is that Nora, a snowplow?

Why is it so long?

Jordan Spreader. Can be used as a snow plow (SP and UP use them that way) since they can move the snow away from the tracks instead of just plowing a canyon through the snow.

Also (and mainly) used on Mof W work to push dirt and rock sideways and the wings (shown here folded up against the spreader frame - which is why it is sooooo long) are articulated so it can be used to shape the roadbed edges. Some of the ones we used in Oregon and California had wings 30 feet long, but most are 15-20 feet, I think.

I've linked to a yahoo picture before, i suppose thta is what pisses me off!

[moelarrycurly4]

I can see it

[bnsfkline]

NOW can you see my photo?

[Nora]

The picture I posted is what I was told is called a jordan spreader, which they do use as a snowplow. But this photo was taken in late April, and they've been using it right around here to push dirt and branches and stuff off the tracks. Not sure why the dirt, branches, etc. were there -- they said something about a new ditch being dug and the debris ending up on the tracks?

Zach, I think that is a terrific photo. But, you know, it's too small. Hahahaha!

[UPTRAIN]

Why thank you Modelcar. [^][:D][8D][:I][:)][:P][;)][bow][D)][(-D][:-,][swg][tup][yeah][wow]

...Photo of 1522 is really nice....Photo composed great with the large tree on the left and hedge balancing it on the right and smoke finishing it off real nicely.

[UPTRAIN]

LOL!!!

[Anonymous]

you wanna know why well call Geocities... GeoS*ities?

ill tell you why!

frigga..fartin..lya..lartin..riga..rongoing

[UPTRAIN]

Snowplow...it is long because it has blades underneath it to flange the snow away from the track that can be folded out...we have never had to use one here...we have had to hook a few 6 axle units together to run after freezing rain to brak the ice off the railheads. We call these "ice breaker specials". What do ya think about the below photo? Frisco 1522 on September 28, 2002 during the 4-8-2's last runs. I took the picture at Sullivan, Missouri.

Yep... to hell with it!

Note: if anyone sees a hidious creature, that is me

if everyone sees a red ex, that is also me... Stupid piece of.. does anyone know why this sytem has to be so damn hard?

Just like geocities, I am 99% sure yahoo doesn't let you link to pictures.

Like I said, you have to put the picture on a website then link to the website with the picture on it.

They wanna force people to view the adds that they put on the websites, nothing's free. [:p]
