The forum is getting its fair share of resident trolls. Beware of whippersnappers wearing hats. [;)] Guess this is a reference to me for daring to have my opinions regarding Amtrak. I've shared my viewpoint, and if you feel me a troll, Jim, I'll be happy to disappear.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Soo2610 [:D] In all fairness to Mookie, I think It would only be fair game that we have someone to go to for those who don't really feel comfortable addressing their questions to Mookie. Therefore I nominate Mr. Ed the talking railroad spokesman. He is knowledgeable, works for the railroad, Has been an active forum member for some time and still has a good sense of humor( I hope). Besides, it would be nice to see some of the older forum members become a little more active again. So lets go folks! We now have Miss Mookie and Mr. Ed to address our railroad and advice questions to.[2c][2c][yeah][tup][#welcome]
Have fun with your trains
QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie Mr Ed: What's a girl to do???? I applied for an engineer's job at BNSF - so they gave me a battery of tests: Couldn't drag the wrench 10 feet - poo - couldn't even lift the darn thing. Tried to get up the stairs, but walker wouldn't fit in that really narrow space - (tail didn't either!) I would have made it if the conductor had kept his hands firmly in place, but he kept falling down laughing Eyesight may not be up to par - had to climb ladder on each signal to see what color the lights were - (must be close to Xmas - lots of red and green - some blinkers, too.) But, my, what interesting and rather large cars they have. They must be like sitting on one of those big earth movers - except they only go back and forth and never off the rails - well, all except that one - but we won't go there.... And the noise - what's with all the "whoop" "whoop". Sounds like a darn bird - maybe crane - "whoop whoop"..... I did pass the test of "hanging" off the boxcar - got walker caught in ladder and hung a long time until some nice young man came and pushed me off. I couldn't understand him too well, but sounded like he used a term of endearment! (kinda like my 7th husband!) (the departed one). So Mr. Ed - would the PTRR maybe have a place for me? They would have to move something up here for me - I can't travel that far that often - but I am sure Congress would pass a law that would allow that. You could use the old AMTRAK tracks. They will just be getting dusty anyway! Your # 1 fan..... Mrs. turn-about-is-fair-play
