And I stopped trackside yesterday afternoon - saw a cute little orange and green BNSF B23-7 all by itself - just movin' right along - went south out of town and never came back!!!

I hurried home, but nope - it wasn't there either!

Here is my pointless post. As long as we are counting things, I saw no fewer than 68 reefers today, all but two were UPFE or ARMN, the other two were VCY.

As to the forum server crashing...Do you think it could be hackers from asia thinking there must be vast amounts of personal credit card info hidden here?

Darn Trainz. My tracks are lumpy and I can figure out how to smooth them. I get motion sickness in the cab trying to move an intermodal up hill at 45mph.

Just thought I'd share that info with you in case you care.[:D] Just in case.

Yikes! Yeah I could see where you might panic! My only problem with yesterday's downtime was that I had to retype a post because the server went down before I posted it. Wouldn't be a problem if I didn't suck at typing!

Mike,
Don't feel bad about that,I had to try twice to get something posted,
and then it wouldn't let me log off !!!

Typing ?,is that what they call it. I just point my finger and aim.[:)]
