Railfan and Railroad February 2005 is the most recent. Jimitrain, Why no response? I wouldn't get too caught up in your reputation if I were you. No one on here is immune from being called out. People call out my legal knowledge all of the time, I explain to them why either they are wrong or why I was mistaken--as I know I am not above being called out. Heck, people call out Mark Hemphill all of the time. If he isn't immune from being called out, no one is. On the merits, it is an absolutely beautiful picture. But, what about the above points? And did you have a radar gun? How could you tell it was going 70 mph? Finally, if it were going that fast, wouldn't the engines be reving pretty hard--if we couldn't see smoke, wouldn't we at least be able to see the "waivy" looking discoloration from the heat of the engines? I am not calling you out, I just assume you have an answer to these questions. Gabe
QUOTE: Originally posted by chad thomas That simply will not do. We need to know exactly how fast it was going. If you don't know than you should time a mile 70 mph is 51 seconds to the mile. And if you don't have an acceptable time piece you are FIRED !! Just kidding [8D]
