Represent your state!
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, November 29, 2003 6:41 PM
We have a great crowd of train enthusuiasts on these forums. Some have questions, some have answers, some have both. I got a lot of my questions answered, and I'm really thankfull for that. [:p]
I was wondering if we have people from all 50 states here.
So write your name (optional) and state your state.
Thank you very much![:)][8D]

Snowboy: How are you doing with your selling snow project?? It sounds like a great deal to me, but I am happy with AZ sunshine! Of course, there are people here who sell AZ sunshine in a bottle or package! Do you might think you might be interested in some?

Illinois here (grew up in western Michigan).

You'd probably still want to ask about a non-Chicagoland Illinoisan.

Hello, all. New to the forum. I am from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I am an employee of Norfolk Southern, on the Central (formerly Kentucky) Division, on the CNO&TP subdivision's 2nd District. I run from Danville, Ky., to Oakdale, Tn., and return. If anyone needs any information on NS's operations in Kentucky, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,

California!!!
The home of the world famous Tehachapi Loop, Cajon Pass, Feather River Canyon, Los Angeles Union Station, SP's (now UP's) Coast Line, AT&SF's old Pasadena Subdivision, and Milepost 2219.4 (oh...you've probably never heard of that,[:D] one but oh well), and so much more!!! Home of the pass with the greatest annual snowfall in the US, and so much more. And did I mention the trains aren't bad either. But I also spend quite a bit of time in New Mexico, home of the also quite famous Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad.

Bob and Nance:
I hope everything's going great for you guys. Of course, my signature is nothing more than a plain old joke, but the snow is starting to get on my nerves. (We have about 23 inches now, and its still snowing) It would be nice to get AZ sunshine!
So I guess Ill have to be patient and wait untill summer arrives.[8D]
