[chateauricher]

chateauricher = Chateau-Richer ... the city in which I now live -- bought a house and moved there in Sept 2004.

I am a night-owl/vampire (I work full-time nights) and could have gone with something like that for a username, I suppose. Oddly enough, I usually sleep best when the sun shines...

I could have chosen CFCR, for chemin de fer de Charlevoix (a shortline CN subsidiary) ... the railroad that passes my house.

I could have gone with IslandViewRR... the name I have chosen for my layout (because I can see the Island of Orleans from the window in my layout room); but I only decided on that name after signing on here. So I use it instead as my AOL address reserved for train-related correspondance.

Trainnut 1250???

Well much as I don't like to admit it, I am a trainnut and 1250 seems to roll off of the tounge just right.....

[Anonymous]

Well I guess this is a no brainer: Great Northern Rail Road
They were the trains I grew up with and loved since I was old enough to run out the track and see them. That I guess was since I was about five or six years old. To see that flag fall was truly a heart breaker. It was almost like someone died in the family. :(

The "ones" have no significance. The "shado" part is a reference to my favorite TV show. Gerry Anderson's "UFO", from 1970.

GMT for Greenwich Mean Time where time begins on the 24 hour clock in Greenwich England. From my days watch standing in the Navy it has significance. From my families predilection for English cars, it has significance. For my business preparing English race cars, it has significance and also explains the Racing part. J.R. Oh yeah I'm also into initials no? [:D]

Real name is Cor Bos and in Europe we (used to) call 4 axels locomotives "BoBo" and six axels "CoCo". So leaving two letters out of my real name would give a nice link to railroading.
Though it was nice when I made it up.
