QUOTE: Originally posted by MP57313 In riding the Cardinal over both NS and CSX tracks in Virginia a couple years ago, the CSX tracks (especially between Orange and Gordonsville) are in sad shape, especially when compared to the 79 mph running on NS. But I don't think that comparison is representative of the entire railroad.
QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill Perhaps most of us are just reading it for entertainment value -- both the original nutty article and the subsequent addendums. In the long term, fundamentals always prevail. Sensationalism always evaporates. Ten years hence those of us who are interested in railroads will still be talking about them, while a few thousand nutty stories will have come and gone with nary a trace.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Clemente And most of the German population had no idea that there were millions of Jews and others being shipped off in railcars to labor and death camps, and they refused to believe it when rumors first surfaced, until they were paraded through the camps by liberating Allied forces and got to see the truth with their own eyes.
QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe Chuckling: that would probably increase the posts on this forum--as I think most on here would agree that the last thing the Class 1s need is another lawyer telling them how to run things.

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Take it from the grandson of a German Jew, They knew, all to well. As early as 1932 with Hitler as Chancellor, in almost every one of his speeches, he spelled out exactlly what he intended to do, rid Germany of what he and the *** considered lower races. The camps, and the ovens, were constructed by civilian contractors, the railroads run by civilians, the gettho goverments were run by civilians. The homes and property of removed Jews were assigned to prominent German industrialist and civilians. Its not like this snuck up only during the war, it had been years in the making. The entire nation had been cheering Hitlers anti-semitic speeches for a over a decade. They knew, and they activly participated, and condoned the camps, and the deaths, as a matter of national policy. Never kid yourself on how easy it is for humans to be evil, and how easy it is to look the other way...

Anyone who read mein kamph knew exactly what was in store for the european jews, including leaders of other world powers. Randy
