Man, that's sure is a hard way of living...Just think how it was back in the Depression of the 1930s.

is it not ironic ? money ...money...everywhere...but not a dime to spare.....
Would be interesting to have an honest poll to find out how many of those who have in abundance will give even 1% of their riches to help the poor, instead of all the useless talks and leaving everything to the man in the street and volanteers to try and sort out...We need a million Robin Hoods instead of a billion billionaires and the problem will be solved.

The emperor of the North, a must watch old movie recommended for old days RR fans. And about the movie, does somebody know what engines appear on the film, the one of the freigth train and the passenger train, that they make to slip in the grade with the grase,It's all fun and games till Shack catches you.

From Wikipedia:
The film was shot in and around the city of Cottage Grove, Oregon along the right-of-way of the Oregon, Pacific and Eastern Railway (OP&E).[SUP][3][/SUP] Willis Kyle, President of the OP&E in 1972, allowed the film company unlimited access to make the film.[SUP][citation needed][/SUP] Oregon, Pacific and Eastern's rolling stock, including two steam locomotives (one of these being #19, a type 2-8-2 Mikado), appear in the film.[SUP][3][/SUP] This was the same location used by Buster Keaton for his 1927 railroad feature The General. Also featured in the film is the Dorena Reservoir, located about 10 miles east of Cottage Grove,[SUP][4][/SUP] and OP&E's railyard in downtown Cottage Grove.
