Rafael Vigilantics http://www.vigilantics.com/ is overnighting in El Paso, Texas, on his way to Austin and then South America or somewhere there abouts. Looks like I'll be picking him up and taking him to the world famous Chope's Bar. http://www.eskimo.com/~sockeye/nm/lamesachope.html I'll ask him if he digs trains. (He oughta, cause he's a damn good writer... http://rafael-vigilantics.blogspot.com/ and trains and writing just kinda go together like whiskey and cigarettes.)

Manual or automatic? For a more exciting experience, get a manual, you'll learn the phrase "clutch control", "Stalling" (yes, I still stall my 1.2L Renault Clio constantly, despite holding my licence for 2 years!), "fuel economy" as you get a lot more miles for your fuel than you do in an automatic. (Why? Its because you can keep the engine going slower in a manual than an automatic.) and watching the dashboard shake violently as you go up hill in 5th at 20 miles an hour which is totally, totally the wrong gear, but you've forgotten what gear you are in.
Oh and if you go to the Uk, only 15% of cars are automatics, the rest are manuals (of which, a working manual car can cost as little as what I got my 14 year old lump for, £350 and it passed its MOT first time this year - well, I don't neglect the car for a start.). Its a simliar story in europe as well.

Yesterday, I went railfanning at Roselle Park in NJ. Coming up the stairs onto the station platform I thought I heard a train behind me, so I turned around to see a NS SD70M bearing down on the gauntlet track. After NS C40-8W class leader 8400 and the rest of the autorack train went by, I sat down, only to see lights coming from the other direction. This turned out to be 2 CSX AC4400CWs and a CSX GP40-2, all in YN3 pulling a manifest freight. I noticed it was on the passenger side, and thought that was weird, but then that thought went away as 2 YN3 GEVOs and a YN3 SD60 met the manifest with a giant intermodal on the other side. After both trains left, I sat down once again, only to see yet another train on the horizon. This time it was the outbound NJT from Newark Penn, pulling. As that pulled out, ditchlights came on from the other track as 2 YN3 GEVOs flew into the station with the Tropicana juice train, pulling hard in notch 8. There was a tiny little pause in traffic after the FRED blinked its way out of the station, but it wasn't long. The next train was mine, the inbound NJT pushing to Newark Penn. When we got to Union (the next stop before Newark), 2 NS Catfish (C40-9Ws) roared by with another manifest on the opposite track. 7 trains in an hour! WOW!
Mourned Clarence Clemons. :'
I agree, all "Sons of NJ" are in mourning for the passing of the Big Man.

Me,
I spent all day watching, as well as yesterday, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday and into Wednesday this broadcasting here from my own country a trip along what is a called the Coastal Express I think, but for us Norwegian in is called Hurtigruten and is a boat trip along out long coast.
It is well worth a look, you can watch it through the link, which is through the wonders of the Internet, and when it is all done, you can download and play with the footage.
It is incredible, and when I have money to spare in the future, I am going on at least part of the journey.
http://nrk.no/hurtigruten/?lang=en takes you to a English version of the site, have fun, enjoy and think about having this in Trainz... :hehe:
