The underlying credit for all of the coffee topics belongs to Frank Eagles. He brought it to the CTT forum from a fishing forum that he belongs to. I copied it to the MR forum and Jim brought it here. Really no need for a second here, sorry. Glad you like the one on MR. [swg]

Oh, yes, the tables are set in the finest RR china and silver, with RR linen. Don't forget that the finest trains usually had flowers on the tables, too.

That said, I'll be stopping over to the Diner for a milkshake. Best in town!

Maybe we should follow Amtrak's lead and use something more geneic. Those damn rail fans won't steal it then.[swg][:p]

bnsfkline,
Dont leave, and dont be depressed...
Get your coffee mug, come on in, sit down, and start talking...
Coffee is alway fresh and hot, food is always good, and the conversation gets, well...interesting.

Besides, your idea just shows great minds think alike!

Yes, bnsfkline, come in anytime, have something to eat and/or drink. And the
conversation DOES get interesting: just ask Jim and locomutt who hold conversa-
tions around midnight, 1 a.m.
