I like Dark future more than Bright future

The station around here was pretty shabby in the early CSX years, but the city bought it (I think) and restored it to its 1890s appearance, and now its an active commuter station (Old style ticket window and all)

It's not that I don't like them, it's just I liked them better with the "bright future" rather thank the "dark future."

Hey look at how CSX is doing right now. they need to shape it up or do something. And I'm not just saying that because I don't like CSX.

Hey thanks. Nice to know someone was laughing. By the way that was a joke to those CSX fans out there I'm not being serious. Except I'm being serious when I write this. You know what I mean.


[#oops] I thought you were being serious the first time. [(-D]

CSX whats going on
Posted by JoeKoh on Thursday, July 15, 2004 8:07 AM
Hi
just a note to say whats happening around here with CSX.First they have asked to build a new spur into an industrial park here in town.as for the old depot they said they would sell the land and building for 105 thousand dollars.However with the current condition of the depot the city wants to offer less and they say it will take about 60 thousand to shore up the building.(even more to refurbish it). so the city has also re-issued a condemmed order so CSX has 30 days to decide what to do.so the wheels just keep going round and round[;)]
stay safe
