Hey duuude that's not dirt, it's EARTH man...
Want a Brownie??
Not unless you have some chips and a gallon of water. At least from what I learned on the internet.

Wasn't there a corny 70s song about hot buttered popcorn?
Why yes there was LC! A top ten hit in 1972 for Hot Butter, the song was called "Popcorn."
Now if we are lucky, there will be a remake done by Katrina & the Waves
I've waved at railans and they didn't wave back.....
What is wrong with them???
Are they too busy picture-taking, or what?
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.
The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.t fun any

Apparently so, I remember doing the frantic get off the track wave to one guy who had his tripod in the gauge!! He was apparently trying to take a photo of a steamer across the yard as we were shoving 40 cars towards him. I was riding the shove on the rear covered hopper (was working as a conductor that day). He never did wave to me. The cops did when they drove off with him in the patrol car though... Nice to have a yard only 6 blocks from the PD sometimes...

Perhaps they were too busy snarfing down 2 dozen donuts , a barrel of KFC, and a gallon of chocolate milk.
Its hard for them to wipe their hands off on their jacket that has five billion stick pins on it.
And just in case you missed this inspiring video on waving at or from a train, here it is again.
Enjoy:

Pkgs.
The beauty of it is in its stupidity.
Are we at page 12 yet?
Hey, we are!

What are you really trying to say Semp? That video is hilarious!
Geez....Everybody's a film critic....I'm so depressed now, I'll have to go out...find a train, and wave at it.
YAY.....12 pages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if the original poster of this thread has been back in for a peek?
What was the pont of this thread again?
I don't think it was supposed to be "something for zugmann to do until the RR calls...."
You're not sitting there and waving at your phone waiting for the crew caller to ring you up are you?
Why? won't that work?
zugmann wrote: Why? won't that work?
LOL, I'll give my wife the "wave" to tell the crew caller I'm not here right now...

Anyone notice the waiving engineer on the left side of the locos?
I was waiting the whole time to see if a conductor would asked Bob if he liked movies about gladiators. Where's scrappy when you need him?

Great! You really should come out soon!

Buuuut, not too exhausting to go for the big 13 right?

I'm holding out for 17...lol...
I went train watching earlier this afternoon and saw eight trains. I got a wave from six of them. Two of them also gave a few blasts on the horn. That should prove that waving is still alive and well.
LC - Why stop at 17 when we could go to 20?
Willy
I support a # 13
I'm actually surprised that the topic of "mooning" trains hasn't come up yet in this thread or being mooned by train crews. I have see several train crews moon each other at one time or another and if memory serves there is an annual ritual of mooning Amtrak in Southern California.
See, I told you we weren't done yet...
Oh, and Willy, I'm up for 20...

That may be orgasmic in nature. Well above the wave.

At least an order of magnitude above the wave!
