Q. Did you hear about the blood test for SPFs (slobbering Pennsy Fans)?

A. Draw the blood; if it's tuscan red you've got a SPF.

Q. Did you hear about the blood test for Vulcan SPFs?

A. Draw the blood; if it's brunswick green you've got a Vulcan SPF.

4 hours of eastbound train travel from New Orleans would probably put you in Florida.

Kind of reminds me of the problem I give my Algebra students: a train leaves NYC heading west at 50 mph and an hour later a train leaves Chicago heading east on a parallel track at 40 mph. If it's 800 miles between NYC and Chicago, how far apart are the trains when they meet?

Don't work too hard on this one, remember the subject of this post.

It's a trick question.  One is on the NYCs water level route and the other is running on the Pennsy mainline!

We have two Amtrak trains that originate here in Charlotte.

They pretty much always pull out on time.

... now ARRIVING on time is a different story.

Assuming that they are either both NYC or both PRR, about 14 feet at closest approach.

If you think that model is a good joke, Google Kitson-Still locomotive.  There really was a 1:1 scale steasel!
