I figure that it is entirely possible to waste bandwidth without feeding the you know who's. NO I don't mean Voldemort.
Say anything you want, just mention the word train somewhere so that we know that what you are saying is train related. We don't want this post to get derailled. We can't waste bandwidth in a non-productive way if the tread doesn't exist.
Personally, I would rather waste bandwidth with humor rather than anger, but if you want to vent and you aren't mentioning Voldermort, train your words on this post.
Personally, I like Dairy Queen's new sundae in a waffle cone.

Building the Rock Ridge Railroad with the slowest construction crew west of the Pecos.
Here's a great picture to show what a super model railroader I am:
What do you think? Should I paint the red wire? It's a feeder, and they say you should use red wire for one feeder, and black wire for the other. If I paint it black, will the train still go?
And how about the car? Are the roofwalks a problem? My layout is set in either 2015 or 1915? Can I use this car for both eras? How long to train cars last? Do you think I did a good job of weathering it? All I did was handle it a lot with dirty fingers.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
That's the spirit.
My son and I go to DQ after every railfan trip. They even have a little wooden train in the dining area.
Although I'm married now, there was a time when I had a different take. Now I can't say there were a lot of PR women where I grew up, so I don't guess I can say with certainty. But what I can say is that the woman I was with at that time was the best woman there was.
Just stay on the track you're on and train your attention on the here and now.

HAHAHA!
Just to boast here, I finished ALL 7 Harry Potter within 2 weeks.
Train-related: Hogwarts Express.
There!
Somewhere in the mid to late 80's, Fostex was marketing a line of small powered speakers. Two tag lines cracked me up:"Fostex speakers are small enough to pick up and throw at someone. For distance, make sure they're unplugged."And:"Speaks like a speaker. Amps like an amp. Handles like a burger."
Oh. Sorry. Wrong forum. Pass the chocolate sauce, please.....
Jeez. This is like sitting on the train to Poughkeepsie and watching PeeWee's Playhouse re-runs....

Oops! Train! (See! I said it!)
All right, why are we doing this in the first place? Isn't this spam?

Shhh, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your Spam. I love it. I'm having Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, an NYC Hudson with DCC sound, Spam and Spam.
I DON'T LIKE SPAM!!!
or European looking trains!
(this sketch has become FAR too silly!)
Could somebody please enlighten me on what a train is?

You need to visit the SPAM museum in Austin MN. You get to watch a short video about Hormel's "Spam" and then wander around a fine museum of all things "Spam", including a quiz/trivia TV show and a vinette of the Monty Python "Spam" skit, including a recording.
THEN... there is the Spam Shop, where you can buy all sorts of things "Spam". Do you know how many different Spam products there are? Besides the typical Tee-shirts and can-cozys there Spam golf balls, oven mitts, shot glasses, key chain fobs, toy trucks, and even Wrapping paper to wrap birthday or Christmas gifts in.
Do you know how many different actual "Spam" meat products there are? Beside the original Spam pork shoulder product, there is a Low Salt version, a Spam Lite, a Spam with cheese, Garlic Spam and Turkey Spam (and maybe a couple of others I didn't happen to find). If you buy 12 cans you get a free Spam cutter that makes uniform 1/4-inch slices.
It is a travesty of language that the word "Spam" came to mean unwanted internet communications. The Hormel product is a fine and tasty food. At least the Hormel company has embraced the unfavorable aspect and are turning it back into a positive advertising campaign... where else can you find a product being advertised for free all over the world by people that have no idea what they are talking about?
Disclaimer: I have no association with the Hormel company in any way except that I have visited the Spam museum and purchased a couple dozen cans of various Spam varieties. I certainly enjoy consuming Spam periodically. Hey, try Spam Italiano Hawaiian... Garlic Spam with Pineapple rings. I think I will take some to the D.D. & C.S. later.
And which state consumes the most spam?

Here in Kentucky we have a L&N 4-6-2 Light Pacific at the Kentucky Railway Museum and it's used to pull tourist trains. Plus, everyone in my family enjoys Spam to some extent, so...

For TTTO purposes, a train is defined as, "A locomotive, or locomotives, with or without cars, carrying markers."

I love 'em. Unfortunately, they love my waistline. Hence, my visits to DQ are few and far between, even though the nearest one is between my house and the closest grade crossing (UP, not too far from the site of Mayor Goodman's pet runaway.)
