Oh, no, not another "the sky is falling" thread. Guys, the railroads will be here for a long time to come. I used to work with a crusty old head conductoir who loved to tell us how when he first hired out in the late 1940s people were saying the railroads were on their way out and that with the war over and rationing done cars, trucks, busses and airplanes would be the future of transportation. He always liked to sigh, and give us a wink and say, "the missus was sure counting on the railroad being gone so I could be home ALL the time. Thank god for the railroad boys, may she always run." Here's to ya Jack, hope ya make last call at that Golden Spike Bar two down from Heaven's Roundhouse. <br /> <br />LC
