While he was sleeping you posted still on the 31st. Be on a hurry on your own time.

The man, Steven, has unbridled enthusiasm.

Ulrich has been setting us up for the Trackside Diner for years and us old guys like it.

 

There was a time when Ulrich was on hiatus for almost a year. Somehow we muddled through in his absense.

 

Any number of us are capable of copy/pasting the new Diner location. Steven has taken the reins. 

Last month we were in Alaska and I dont think there were more than a half-dozen posts with photos, videos or other information about Alaska Railroading. Is it really all that big of a deal?

Tempest in a teapot in this old man's analysis...

 

Thanks for opening the new Diner, Steven.

 

Cheers, Ed

It wasn't even September yet? With all due respect Steven I appreciate things a lot more as I'm sure a lot of other Forum members do when something isn't pounced upon. Ulrich has been setting us up for the Trackside Diner for years and us old guys like it. 

He was asking in his different time zone around noon where we would like it to be. You chose what I requested to him but he wasn't even given the chance. 

While he was sleeping you posted.  I only have one word for you Un-Cool

 

 

I thought Ulrich was going to start the new thread also.

However, I am glad we are doing TN and KY as we discussed.  

Good night everybody .

I've also posted the diner a couple of times, but for some reason the past two times you seem very dissatisfied, I do agree Ulrich does a SPLENDID job of posting it, I thoroughly enjoyed his German tour a while back.

Also time on the East Coast of the United States is 11:35 Post Meridian, so in 25 minutes it will be September. Sadly for those on the West Coast they have another 3.5 hours to go!

This month I thought of something different, our primary location is in the states of Kentucky and Tennessee, but also if anyone has something to share from anywhere the Appalachia region go ahead and post it.

I think it really shouldn't matter who gets the "First" post, we're all here, we all have story's to tell and pictures to show, so post up guys!

Howdy folks,

A few things to go over.

First, this month we are in the Tennessee/Kentucky region, I used to live in Tennessee and my Grandfather lives in Arkansas! We can also include anything from the Appalachian Mountain range, if anyone feels like it. If you have information or a story, anything rail related, that involves these states or ones directly neighboring them please post up!

Second, I got top of page in the last page of the August Diner, so DRINKS ARE ON ME!!

Third, to kick things off this month were on what is now Norfolk Southerns RatHole Division!

Welcome to Jeffrey's Trackside Diner!

It's the place for you to go to relax and talk off topic about most anything - as long as you stay within the forum rules, which means certain hot button topics are excluded. Please refer to Steven Otte's post on Forum Policies.

The waitresses Zoe, Chloe, Flo, Janie, and Brunhilda are very friendly and will serve up plenty of virtual food with a smile. Please don't forget to leave a generous tip!

Each month, the Diner will be spotted in a different location at places all over the world. This month the Diner is located in the Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky region, we can make some excursions to some of the other nearby states if that's wanted.

Its the beginning of each month, it is also the time to pay our respects to friends whom are no longer with us.
