I just joined the Forum. I'm 22 years old...
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, July 9, 2003 2:17 AM
I just wanted to introduce myself, and greet everyone here. I've been into Trains since I was 10 or so, when my sister started going to a school for the gifted in Los Angeles. I would go with my father on the drives to my sister's school, and on the way we would pass the ex-southern pacific locomotive shops (i forgot the actual name, but its in the same field as the metrolink service shops next to the 5 freeway), as well as the downtown LA intermodal yard.

My friends kind of make fun of my fascination with trains, but blah who cares. I guess its because I'm young, out-going, you know, typical college kid who likes to party and have fun...Anyway, *HELLO EVERYONE!* [:D]

Spec R - welcome to the forum. We are a friendly bunch and some of them are really knowledgeable about trains and always willing to answer questions. So think up some interesting questions or comments and join in. Watch for Kevin - he is your age and even an occasional female. We like railroads, too!

SpecR, good to have you with us. This is almost as much fun as actually watching trains trackside. I believe I have seen the SP shops you speak of, are they along I-5 across the bay from SFO in Oakland? If so, they still have lots of action and I last saw them about six months ago during a trip to SFO. Jim
