I'm thinkin' Amtrak's replacement. Own your own "car". And it is set up to car-pool.

Well, at least that would be one job that will always require at least one person to perform. [;)]


Lets try to look at the bright side.

After one man crews are the norm, anytime a train dies on hours, they can just have the relief "crew" peddle out to the train, and the relieved crew can ride the bike back.

Think of all the taxi service costs eliminated. [:(]

Yeah, but it would be a drag to have to pedal through a 20" snow, or into -30 degree wind-chills.


Perhaps the railroads could modify a few hi-rail vehicles to haul passengers. Then they could stop using "crew transport" services, and have the relief crew just drive out to the stopped train. Train crews would no longer have to be concerned about where their train would fit with the locomotives near a crossing. With the "RailVan" in use, a crew would only be concerned about blocking crossings; the van could just ride the rails to the stopped train, wherever it was (with dispatcher permission, of course).


But seriously, folks........
A man and his wife are dining at a table in a plush restaurant. The husband keeps staring at an drunken lady swigging her gin as she sits alone at a nearby table.

Finally the wife asks, "Do you know her?"

"Yes," sighs the husband, "She's my ex-wife. She took to drink right after we divorced seven years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since."

"My", says the wife, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

Well, as it's running into spring (finally?) we'll have a few months to work on accessories. Snowplow, portable heat or a heat hauser and so forth.

Well, that right there appears to be the explaination of why she likes you..unless you're making it all up. Which you very well could be. Now stop insulting everyone and let things get back on topic.
And I always find it sad that looks usually don't go with brains, but in this case I am afraid that there is not even the slightest risk of having a brain to worry about between the two of you.

I do seem to recall a topic along those lines once. or more than once. And I do believe that the honeymoon period for you is over, and that you are no longer enthralled by the posts as you once were. It happens. And saying that you aren't insulting anyone? I guess your fingers are just working independantly of your brain..check that, one of those parts is missing. Read your above posts to see what I mean.
And funny how that the guy around here who you regard as cool seems to have a profound dislike for you.

Allan, you're right there, and you're part of the problem? Who me? Yes, you! Exhibit A:

"Man you need to go get yourself some SEX or something. What did BNSFkline ever do to you? Allan."

If you think that's the kind of garbage I want on this forum, you're dead wrong.

For all those who are bickering within this thread: Stop, get back on topic, and grow up. If you want to act your age, go to myspace.com.
