Looking at this, all the hard work involved, and the design, you have to ask the question... Where did we go wrong? We are nothing of what we were.

2:10, WHAT KIND OF SIGNAL IS THAT!? How is a engineer suppose to see that?

[Landaux]

Wish I was around then to see the steamers & E & F units go by on a daily basis.

Amtrak is to cheap to clean their cars exteriors. (or their interiors for that matter).

Too much cool stuff to talk about :P

2:11 : You definitely don't see those block indicators (AKA Motor car signals) anymore. The depot museum i volunteer at has one just like it (and another). One old railroader i talked to said MOW crews were often told "relying on a M C S indication will get you killed".

That C&EI in MP paint was cool and barrelling thru there. The GE U-28CG on the ATSF was really suprising.
