I can only address #15, and I know one example does not the rule make, but my kids and I are railfans and stop by a train parking spot in Houston where crews are changed for outbound runs. A couple of old timers saw us and invited us on board a spanking new SD-70M. The guys were great, the loco a beaut .... and the a/c was not working. Those of you who know Houston summers can sympathize.

For the rest, boy I hope not!

Mook! oh my! You are twisted....................I like it! I'll change my wording. I now have one on the extraboard. You like that?

[:(!] Ken, you know I am concerned. But I am not your mother or your grandmother, so will bite my tongue.

And you would be surprised at what some of us "old folk" know!

Aimee walked by, read this over my shoulder, made me scroll up to read the rest, then scroll back down, read mookies last question.
Now she is laughing so hard I think she broke something.
One the side, wow, what a mental image!

Kev, don't sweat it. You'll know in your gut is yer babe is being bad. If she isn't, then treat her good. If she is, still treat her good and get ya annother one on the side.....That's what I think!

Sounds like a group case to me. And when did they move it to the side?

Hmmm, then I guess I won't go into the couple who ran on a particular pool job in the north country, he an Engineer of middle age and stature and she a young buxom blonde new hire conductor. Tale is still told how those locomotive windows sure got foggy, even on moonlit nights on the prairie...

And no, I wasn't involved, I heard the story from the guys who relieved them...
