Scenario Two, Dead Bird Saga--

SF3751 just walks up and takes bird, gets yelled at by engineer for leaning over train tracks

SF3751 has pigeon stuffed and mounted on plaque and framed: "Pigeon Killed by Amtrak 712 on June 3, 2008; Recovered at Fresno Amtrak Station"

SF3751 has new train memorabilia and adds to wall behind his layout at home!!

P.S. Not trying to be insensitive to pigeon (I hate to see that too), just having some fun (no new videos to watch right now, LOL!!)

[SF3751]

ROFL!!! LOL, that is the best thing I have heard on here for awhile (joke wise). Ya, I'm starting to making those vids now.

[BRIANamtrak]

[BRIANamtrak]

Smooth camera skills!

very beautiful power up on 2003. 5*

[SF3751]

Ya, all the F59PH's smoke up when they start a train.

[skifool10]

not many F59PHI's do that anymore. surfliner F59PHI 455 did that before the front got re painted. 450,463,and 457 still have good power ups.

[SF3751]

Yup. These F59's all are good ar belching.

[skifool10]

thats a stupid crow with a pea size brain.

[SF3751]

No, it was a peigon. Can't really tell in the video, makes it look darker than it was.

[singwith]

I used live there.

[SF3751]

Really, I didn't know that. I thought you where just visiting in those vids you took.

[singwith]

yes, few years ago. I still have friends so sometime take train to visit my friends.

[SF3751]

Cool, I will have to meet you down here sometime.

stupid bird one time my mom driving me home from someplace and we hit a bird while driving

another rime we were in East PEoria, IL chasing a train(no vid) we took route 116 and we saw a goose get hit but it survived

[SF3751]

When a train is going 70mph and your a bird, I really don't thnik that once you see the train you can do much. Glad to goose survived.

[TPWRAILFAN]

[SF3751]

Bummer.
