USA Pics

Right guys, I opened Trains, spotted the pic and went to the screenies.
While I've got your attention will someone help me with a question. As you can see in my screens, there's a bunch of written clutter because I'm using ImageShack as a host. But, as I scroll through the screens in this thread I see very few screens with all the written clutter. What am doing wrong?

What I do is use the "Insert Image" button (the one that looks like a picture of mountains and a brown sun with a yellow sky) and copy/paste the "Direct link to image" from Imageshack. :wave:
 
Thank you much Ferrous. I think I've got it now.


Waiting for the green.

Back in the good ole' days when you weren't born and Euphod was using Paintshed with naught but 3 colors, the Chessie System and Seaboard were merging. A final name was to be settled on after the merger. During the merger the new corporation's temporary name was to be "CSX", the "C" standing for Chessie, the "S" standing for Seaboard, and the "X" representing the merger in between. Well, a new name was never settled on, so the temporary name remains. Thus, the "X" in CSX has no actual meaning- it represents the concept of a merger.

Your Mom and Pop should be real proud of you. You are a well spoken (written) and intelligent young man. We don't see that much from Trainzers your age on this forum. Keep up your good work and stay with us.

Great shots guys, really nice stuff there!

And about what CSX stands for, I read in Trains magazine that it stands for Chesapeake, Seaboard, X-which is supposed to be the multiplication sign, meant to say "and so much more". Sounds kind of corny. ;)

LIRR MP15AC's 159 & 172 lead one of the Long Island's last freight trains eastbound through Floral Park.
