A letter from the commissioner...

[Anonymous]

Bah. I hate mushrooms to- They make the pizza look rotten.

Ordered pixxa on the train once, then pthe passengers in the first car staged a protest, we has to share it with all of them, Told the pizza guy "i'm calling an hour in adavnce, Be at St anne-de-bellevue station at 6:08 exactly, otherwise, you've missed the train!"

Stopped and paid the guy, transaction took less then a minute, and had pizza all the way to the end station. (Except we had to share)

what.. i'm not the sharing type.. chip in or chip out, ok well i'll share, it depends with Whom, and what.. I can't believe i was just about to type that!

I love it; thanks for asking. Been working about a month now, almost exclusively weekends, and it's all been good so far. Haven't stopped for pizza yet, though!

SHhhhhhhh! ...some of those stray electrons might get over into the YM, TM or Supt's machines and cause them to actually look out the window of the treehouse![X-)][X-)][X-)][X-)]

Forgot about the super-sized 4-car garage out back!

Oh and I forgot to mention that his favorite was the 'shrooms and onions...

BTW, Ed, no I am definitely NOT into tuna casserole. Nice thing about holding a road pool is I can usually avoid casserole night at home...

Nora-

How's the van driving going? Your comment on no 'shrooms reminds me that we used to have a guy who drove for Ratzenberger back in the old days who couldn't take us anywhere without pizza. We never got him to bring us any but we stopped at every Sbarro enroute...

Dominoes just never delivered to us before.

After the cab ride, we havent had a problem with them since.

Now, if we can just get Boston Market and Red Lobster to deliver....

Nice work Ed. We always used a trainee to go fetch the pizza on our local jobs or the man with least seniority...

"Uh, I'm sorry sir, we cant deliver to a locomotive"

"Why not, its right beside the street?"

"Because, we have to have a address to deliver to."

"Ok, it either 9608 or 9620 Clinton Drive, across from gate 8 to the Port of Houston.
Its the big blue houses, that look and sound like locomotives, with the flashing white lights on top."

"Ok, so this is a house, right/"

"Yeah, its a mobile home, a really loud mobile home"

We got the pizza for free, turned out the manager delivered the pies, he was a railfan, we ran him up and down the track some, he wrote the pizzas off and a prank order.

For pete's sake:
(1) It has a swingset "in the yard".... (the yard doesn't move, just the "houses")
(2) It has its own police force (very safe)
(3) Can't deliver to the front porch of 9608? - Try 9620!
(4) It has its own very large treehouse out back!
(5) It's neater and safer than some of the dumps they deliver to just down Clinton Street!
(6) it has a garden even, a "wheel garden"!

I never could "dance on the carpet" very well Bergie. I guess I'm admonished though....

Just another friendly neighborhood heathen,

Guys! Is nothing sacred!!!!! Here we have a reprimand from the Chief and you let it deteriorate into a pizza free-for-all!!!! What a country !!!![:D]

And Vic - if it was Pizza Hut - and I was there - you would have never made it to the lounge car. We would have been dining on aisle pizza!

Pinnapple Pizza...

HEATHENS!!!
PHILLISTINES!!!
BARBARIANS!!!


You can have ALL that pizza, I'll get my own thanks...

But when you see my steaming hot deep dish double crust 3 cheese, sausage, pepperoni, salami, olive, mushroom, tomato, and extra garlic pizza and then look down at that soggy pinapple laden piece of cardboard smeared with ketchup you ordered, you'll wish you hadnt 'dissed me, cause like my elementary report card said, "..doesn't play well with other children, and DOESN"T SHARE" especially when you mess with my Pizza ...[(-D]


Just an aside..I'll relate a TRAIN RELATED pizza story.. several years back when I took Jamtrack back to Iowa to visit relatives. On the return trip, 2nd day on the train, crossing Utah. I was talking to the people I had met on the train, we were talking about how bad the food was at the cafeteria car (we were all too poor for the Dining Car) and what food we would like to have, we all agreed a Pizza would be just the thing. Then someone had an idea, we had an hour layover in Salt Lake City coming up and what if we ordered a pizza?[:p]

Well that did it, we were for the next hour deciding a plan of action, who to call was answered when we came out of an under pass outside the staion and saw a huge billboard for a nearby Dominoes or Pizza ***, one of them. We got the number down, and as soon as the train doors opened we bolted out into the station to the first payphone, called, ordered 2 large, its almost midnight , and we told the pizza guy we would be waiting in front of the train station, he said "OK, we've done this before"[;)]

The pizza guy shows up. When we took the pizza's on the train it was like walking into a lions cage covered in raw meat! We thought the other passngers were going to riot, kill us, and take our pizza's for themselves! They looked at us with glazed eyes and drooling lips, we though we had stumble into a scene from Dawn of the Dead! So we hastedly retreated to the lounge car where we could enjoy our prize in peace.[8D]

[espeefoamer]

No pineapple on the pizza?[:0]I love Hawaiian pizza.Lay on that pineapple and ham.[:)]Also,while your'e at the hobby shop, pick me up an SP SD50.I forget the manufacturer,but the really look great.[:)]

NY thin crust with extra cheese and pepperoni, and there better not be any pinnapple on that pizza or you'll be wearing it! I'm kinda a Purist when it comes to that.


Hey there no friggin' beer in the fridge! What gives! cant watch the Redwings game tonight with no beer?

Oh sorry Kev, forgot to tell you. Me and Dan decided to watch the Redwings game tonight , so you'll have to watch the Canadian's game on the little TV in the kitchen.

[}:)]Kev,

You're going to the store. Perchance, if you're going to the hobby shop, would you
get me a "Red Caboose" , GP-9. in O Scale? I would be highly indebted to you!

[UPTRAIN]

agreed

I guess things have been getting out of hand on some boards as of late. I think that we have to watch it with the personal attacks while making sure our opinions are still heard. I think you did a good job of heading this one off Bergie.

Oh Vic- we won last night, in case i havn't rubbed it in ebough yet.

[edblysard]

So, Art, next time we come up, instead of 6th street, where do you suggest we start?
We will be a medium sized group, about 10 railroaders and their wives, and six employees of the AGs office, and their spouses and partners.
The AG office folks are light weight drinkers, after three hours they get a little fluffy...[^]

And I believe Canadian National has some rights, trackage or otherwise (they are partnered with KCS, I believe) from KC to Springfield (and maybe north to Joliet???)
And of course IC (read Canadian National) still owns the line from Joliet to Chicago.
Altho I worked for the north end of the GM&O, I always thought of it as the C&A.

Art Schlosser

If this was the 1870's, yes, Carrollton is on the JC, then the Alton Road merged that into its system. Roodhouse, which is a few towns north of Carrollton, was where the Alton's branch to Kansas City (Western Division) begins. When the GM&O bought the C&A, then the Illinois Central merged with the GM&O in the '70s, ICG didn't want the extra trackage. The Chicago-St.Louis main was sold to the SSW-SP, while the Western Division and the Springfield-Godfrey branch was sold to a startup company called the Gateway Western. In 1997 KCS bought the GWW, and still owns it today. I think BNSF has trackage rights from Jacksonville to Alton, too.
