[quote user="Murphy Siding"] <p> I tried to see if Denny Washington's jet was parked at the airport, but the view from the grassy knoll wasn't that good. I didn't have enough time to check the view from the school book depository.<span class="smiley">[;)]</span></p><p><span class="smiley">[/quote]</span></p><p><span class="smiley">You know.....if I had typed that exact same paragraph - except with Matt Rose's name in place of Dennis Washington's name - I'm fairly certain the Ilks would have accused me of terrorism or something to that effect, and would have subsequently had me kicked off the forum.<span class="smiley">[:O]</span></span></p><p><span class="smiley">Never fear, I'm just pointing out some of the double standards of this forum.

I always wonder what kind of priority that train gets from BNSF dispatchers?</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I too have wondered why DM&E chose to relocate to Sioux Falls from Brookings, since Brookings is on the DM&E and Sioux Falls isn't, even though it is the largest town in South Dakota. Let's see, UP's headquarters is located in Omaha which is on the UP, BNSF's headquarter's is located in <strike>Shanghai </strike>.......er, I mean "Fort Worth, Texas"<span class="smiley">[;)]</span>....., MRL in Missoula, NS in Roanoke(?).........</p>
