I like the sound of Erik and Mike better and the names are listed alphabetically. So my vote is to keep the title the way it is.

No real comment

"There is nothing in life that compares with running a locomotive at 80-plus mph with the windows open, the traction motors screaming, the air horns fighting the rush of incoming air to make any sound at all, automobiles on adjacent highways trying and failing to catch up with you, and the unmistakable presence of raw power. You ride with fear in the pit of your stomach knowing you do not really have control of this beast." - D.C. Battle [Trains 10/2002 issue, p74.]

We're all "Railfans" so why not go with "Railfan Photos"?

For a year now, I've tried to cajole, maneuver, argue, bicker and downright plead with my good friend Mr. Bergstrom that the name of our fabulously popular trains.com regular feature be named "Trackside with Mike and Erik," as opposed to "Trackside with Erik and Mike." So far, he's resisted.

Hey, throw me a bone, okay?

Sorry, I can't vote since my real first name is the same as one of the contenders and that puts me in a conflict of interest.

That is, unless one of you is willing to send me a large suitcase full of CSB (Cash, Small Bills). Unmarked of course. [:D]

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

Sorry mike, but I think that Erik and Mike sounds better. It just does. Either way is good, but it's barely a winner. Plus good ol' bergie is a good moderator!

Mike I voted and leave it because you must had nothing better to do but read "Erik and Mike." This shows you are not focusing on your work!!!

IF one uses last names Mike (Yuhas) has to follow Erik (Bergstrom). [:p]However, [X-)]let's use a cruder[B)], and more fun[:p] way: Pick out a photo (old style film or electronic) the [:D]best each of you have , put 'em up and let us decide it![%-)][D)][soapbox] That is if you dare![}:)]
