I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

This is a rare movement of the HOG passenger train on Georgia Central's tracks coming out of Macon back in 2009.

I took this from the front locomotive looking back.

We're pro-rail, just not this delousional "high speed" crap, and those commuter jokes. But bring on the freight railroads, and passengers pulled by REAL locomotives, not some silly crap ran by a "motorman" :Tongue2:

Why all the space between where you post at? I have to scroll up and down for the little smily things.

Yea, I was sitting outside in the yard swing, and left the phone inside. I see on my phone I missed a call from "Gifted Stinko", so that means you called me... :ROFL:
