Nationall Train Day, this Saturday, May 7th

[Beattie]

no offense...but how does Cass relate to Pittsburgh?

Plenty its an example that the state believes it costs more to run the engines vs than the money people pay to ride on the rails that railroad is a good example that the state is wrong. You make a lot of money on rare steam engine runs. So maybe if somebody is willing to buy the railroad they can fix it up and starting running engines again.

, I was able to check out Chicago's offering, which looks pretty lame.

If it weren't for my half-sister's communion, I'd be in those ICE SD40-2s all day long!

I am saying Pittsburgh as a city, not one specific railroad.

K4, you in a way are wrong because that Exhibit Train is going around the country for an entire year and stopping at locations in various US cities and the schedule for it is only through July and it is to be updated in June so the train may come to Pittsburgh.

This was fun, I went to the Union Termail in New Orleans and saw awsome stuff.

I saw P40 #148, got a full Superliner tour and saw One ESE car and the 20th Century Observation car. That was awesome.

I also saw some S scale locos and cars, and we got some stuff. But, silly me, I left a Lionel Catalog there. Oh well.
