Ed. Those certainly aren't switchMEN. That's just what the hoboes in L.A. are wearing these days. Can't you tell by their stick and hankerchief?? As for the white heels, the help them balance on the rail like that to portray the necessary signal aspect...

I was gonna say "display" which is the correct RR term, but I figured I was in enough trouble already without putting on a display...LOL...

OOO i could say so many things i could say right now...

Erik, if I may call you so, i would perfer to address you as Mr... because i don't like calling people older then me, especually department heads by their frist name.

Does Everyone agree with me that society Evolves?
The social and moral standars, weather anyone approves, diassaproves or anyhting in between is Changing, and human life forms continue to Evolve.

It goes to say that as technologie progresses, So do morals and and right/wrong.

What was once more or less innapropriate back in the 1900's is quite appropriate now, and is done in every day life.

a teacher once said to me: Can you stop the rotation of the world? Then you can't stop the Evolution of society. LC was Right.. in that link, if you go to any American beach, you can see more skin then what that photo Reveals. If you go to a Canbdian beach.. That might be too much "social Evolution" for some of you to handel in one day!

The fact is, in Todays day and age, Two women in thongs standing on the Railroad tracks immitating a Stop signal, has nothing wrong with it, if the police were to see thta, the best they could ticket you with is Tresspassing on RR property. Not public Nudity, or Indescent Exposure

So in Todays Society, I find, as well as many other people, who may not come out and admit it to you, but i will.. for Sept. 4th 2003, as morals stand today.. there is no conceivable fault with that picture, no one in that picture is showing too much skin or anyhting to that effect.

Oh LC - you have made my little heart go pitter-patter. That is one decent photo. Yes, I do like the looks of NS! It is macho (stallion) it is pleasing to the eye (lines) and everyone looks good in black!

Alright, I've updated my profile with a photo where you can actually see me (for some reason, no one liked the image of me from the Rochelle web cam [:o)] ). Now you can all recognize me when I drop in at Rochelle. If you see me, feel free to say hi, I don't bite (unless you're LC posting inappropriate profile photos).

Now, where is Kathi Kube's profile photo??? I knew she used to have one up there. Don't make me stake out the Starbucks and get a poparatzi (sp?) style photo of you! [:D]

And I was just about to call you...

Actually, um, I never did post a photo. You just directed our buddies here to my corp. photo. I'm going to be watching for you at Starbucks now. Or maybe I'll travel incognito with a newspaper over my head or something.

I'm actually looking for a photo I like. But it might take a while.

At least you have a real picture up, though! Way to go, Bergie!

Bergie BAD BOY haven't you been following the thread "Stay Off the Tracks"? Shame on you, and you are suspose to be "the responsible one".

Where is the pitchfork and horns? [}:)] You know we forum readers all believe you have them. [:p] I know, you doctored the pic. [:D]

OK, I guess you really must be just one of the guys. [8D]

And so young, not the old foggie we had pictured.

Now in the future we know you are not that old codger who steals pics. [:)]

Oh, you assume I was on the tracks. I wasn't. That's actually a car that's on display next to the old depot in Oconomowoc, WI. The depot - right on the CP mainline - now houses a restaurant with great food. They've done a great job keeping the structure in working condition. I'll try to get a story on Trains.com about the depot someday soon.

Yep, just one of the guys. [:)]

Are you trying to send photos for the Photo of the Day on the Trains.com home page? If so, send them to editor@trains.com or ebergstrom@trains.com. Those come right to me. The railroadeditor@ trains.com goes to one of the TRAINS Magazine staff members first, then get forwarded to me as needed.

Let me know if that's what you're taking about.

Take care,
