It's a "toaster."  We've come to expect that...

And we wouldn't expect anything else from the media any more.

I suppose you could use that term, although I am not fond of “engine car” to describe a locomotive.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

I continue to be astonished by media coverage of railroads.

So all those Alco’s are really just doing “controlled burns”?
