I use to live in Lake Dallas. The DGNO? or dogno, , at one point could be seen there. I worked EMS in Fort Worth and never paid any attention to tower 55. I know, I know, how could I? But that was before I got really wise and went to train dispatch school and flirted with my now-husband and flunked the class and took some train pictures and learned what the phrase "Honey, I have a few books," really meant.

Sorry..I am babbling. Welcome to the family.

G'day, Nuclear Winter:
The initials of your handle could stand for Norfolk and Western. I was down your way three years ago and went to the stockyards in Fort Worth. Great steaks down there for some reason! Did the steam engine that takes the tourist train to town get fixed? They told me it was having boiler problems.

It comes to my attention that i have not properly introduced myself.
I am 13,have a job on a REAL railroad, (yes, i get to play with other peoples full size trains:) I love anything trains, i will not bring up amtrak, the D.M.I.R. rocks and they will aneilelate you at first sight Union Pacific!!!
Oh yeah, these forums are the best in the world I think,lots of info, great group of men/women,railroaders,"foamers",railfans, rail nuts, and many other kinds of people!
(oh, when they say hang on, they mean "hold on like your riding a boxcar through a hump yard at night going 50 mph)
WELCOME!!

As a native of GA living in NC and a died in the wool Bulldog that thinks there is no railroad better than an American one and the AB&C rules; Welcome again to the most interesting forum you will ever be a part of.[#welcome][tup]

Welcome;

My real name is Andrew Little

I am a 25 year old student of many things. Come September, I am heading to collage to train to be a customs officer. I also am training to be a concert pianist.

Most of my railroading is watching or simulating.

I enjoy all kinds of dicussion, debate (friendly only), and the general exchange of all knowledge including of course trains.

[#welcome] and see you around the forum.[:)]
Andrew
