Puck-man PUT DOWN THE FRANK ZAPPA CD'S AND STEP AWAY FROM THE DISC-MAN Seriously friend, your showing your age, that kinda talk went out of fashion back in in the 80's. Remember, I am from LA and Val-speak was scorned by us as the speach of air-heads, even if Frank's album was a hit nationwide, Val's were not looked up to here.

I got a kinda mean response... I'm not sure if I'll reply. If I do reply, I will keep Proverbs 15:1 in mind: A gentle response turns away anger, but a harsh response stirs it up.)

QUOTE: Originally posted by jhhtrainsplanes Hey Moneyrules Don't be afraid to hit the books as others have suggested. When it came to trains I never had to have an excuse to do my own research. When I was your age (anyone attempting to guess when will be shot) I especially loved (and still do) steam engines so I took every chance to read about them. As others have said check out Union Pacific. I learned alot about them. Early railroading was a dangerous thing. (Can be today also.) Boiler explosions, rail problems (just like a whip cracking--slicing into the passenger cars, and many Indians were not especially fond of the railroad. One of the Indian tricks was breaking out the colored lenses in a trackside signal, leaving just a white bulb showing. In early railroad days the white light was basically a clear ahead signal. So if the colored lense was broken out then the white bulb told the engineer--no problem so he would high ball into a coming train. Once you get started you will, if not already, begin to like or love trains. And then its Katy bar the door. Good luck with your report. Make sure and get a A for trAins. [;)]
