Browsing Flickr, I found a shot of the BRC's Columbus Crossing. Look at my comment on the picture, what is wrong with that? Anyway

And I submitted pictures of this crossing to the site.

Maybe it's the way you begin your comment...just a thought.

Well, what I meant was, what's wrong with what I said, meaning look at what the FRA still says runs on the line, but that's ok.

Maybe the FRA is lying. There are quite a few reports from Portland Oregon that say 69 daily trains plus Amtrak on spur lines, and defunct lines, and all reports were from 2008 as well.

From your original post I was under the impression that others were giving you a hard time for your comment on Flickr. I was presuming that the "Holy Shit" opener might have hit somebody wrong.

It hit's me wrong every time I see it. While I say that word (and others) probably at least 10 times a day... there are times when it is appropriate, and times when it is not.

That is why they have a smilie for it in most forums ( :Censored: or :Curse1: ). You get your point across without actually having to say the word out loud.

I'm certainly not trying to tell you what to do... it is your freedom of speech. :Smile:

So, which is more recent then... Street View or your picture of the crossing? Street view doesn't show an upside down gate at the crossing.
And are there still three bells present at the crossing? Does the M-Bell work, or is it just something pretty to stare at that doesn't work?
Well, :Censored:
