1001 Dusty Feathers
Posted by edblysard on Tuesday, July 20, 2004 4:28 PM
Well,
The railroad construction Guru hit the 1000 mark, then 1001, posting on something he knows more about than all the rest of us put together.

And who else would you ask, when you wanted to know what all thoses numbers were on the side of a rail?

Congrat's, Dusty Pheasant !!!

That would be First Glass, of course.

I always look forward to MC weighing in on the Terra Firma portion of railroads, though the cat-fights are just as legendary!

Good stuff, MC; always looking forward to the next one! Congratulations!
