I guess it's possable, but I doubt he would use an alias.

What about O. S., which "a former Editor" used for a couple of months ? 

I don't know. I think I'll keep my mouth shut and let them suspect me a fool rather then open it and remove all doubt.Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

That locomotive was called Barf Bonnet back then, wasn't it. I guess the merger with NS was already underway 10 years ago.

 

1435mm reminds me of a former Editor.

Do I think forum member 1435mm is a former Kalmbach employee ?

What makes you ask?  I think he is a signal maintainer, at least that's the impression I got. He certainly knows his stuff.

No, It's the horse riding on the swoosh through the warbonnet.

 

And Chico is rideing the horse.

I wonder who would win...Rocky the goat or the NS horse...

Then what happens when UP merges with CSX...Will Chessie the cat sprout wings?

All I see is Union Pacifc on NS here in TN. And what about Conrail? If we think real hard, I'm sure we can come up with a few more conspiracy theories about the CSX-NS-CR ordeal.
