just remember, I don't live up there, so don't count on seeing me. I'll have one of the top people show you around if you want, kinda like an extra special tour of Railtown. No guarantees though.

Would have been Ironic to see a skunk. Great Video.

Ironic and smelly. hehe...

Yeah, its called the skunk train because of an old story. In the old days the railroads motor cars used to burn a really smelly fuel. People living near or along the ROW used to say "you'd smell them coming before you heard or saw them coming", just like a skunk. So the name just kinda stuck with it.
