    I FINALLY caught my very first EVER CNW AC4400CW unit (UP #6721) on the day that Star Wars Episode III was originally released back in 2005! (Photo taken 5/16/13.)

    Well, for me anyway!

    The top photo is actually photoshopped from this shot that I took.

    • And what's funny is that every rare sight that I've seen on my local UP lines this year has had photo opportunities ruined due to pesky autorack trains blocking my view for a decent shot! Yet, this autorack; however:

      ...brought me good luck! Go SD70ACe leader! Sound your awesome-sounding K5LLA! (This train was transferring from the secondary line to the mainline from the transition wye or junction at the yard.)

    • Yeah, that's always the way. When, hypothetically, one sees a loco that is a common, run-of-the-mill job, nothing gets in one's line of sight. However, if one is to see something really special, everything seems to try to spite one.

      I guess this is why professionals use cameras that can shoot 6–10+ frames per second...

    • LOL Sorry for over-reacting, I was just excited. (And yes, seeing something uncommon and/or rare is exciting and/or thrilling to me.)

  • Man, am I excited about tomorrow! I'll be going to my local Sun City Con to meet Peter Mayhew (the actor for Chewbacca) and Tom Kane (the voice of Yoda from The Clone Wars)!

    • I'd say you saw Marina Sirtis. My sci-fi knowledge fails me with Battlestar Galactica. Sounds like you've had a great week! :D

        Loading editor
    • Yes! I saw her! (And man, is she much shorter in person! And Peter Mayhew; "Chewbacca", is HUGE because of him having gigantism!)

  • Do you remember months back of a video that I posted on Chat featuring a BNSF train streeet-running with an SD70ACe leading? Remember how surprised you were about how several roads in the US are like that? Well, guess who else (besides Canada) operates mainline freights through city streets!

    AUSTRALIA! (Queensland to be exact!)

    • Oh, yeah! I forgot that AN doesn't exist anymore. AN had a green paint-scheme and a pretty cool logo. (Hasn't anybody told that group Australian National has closed down?) xD

      PS Sorry for not getting on for a ½ month. :(

    • Nah, it's okay. I was wondering where you've been! I was gettin' kinda' lonely! LOL 

      Yeah... technically AN no longer exists, yet they simply were purchased by the G&W and have repainted and re-rostered the majority of their units, rollingstock, and equipment!

  • Hey, have you heard any news regarding a buried "Planet" steam locomotive which is supposedly buried under Atlantic Ave. in New York City? I read an article about it in Trains Magazine, and historians have been planning on excavating the abandoned subway tunnel which exists under the roadway!

  • Hey Gavin, it's that time of the year again! What do you think we should do to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary? Should we celebrate it like how EMD celebrated their 50th anniversary (being ceremonious) or should we celebrate it like how EMD celebrated their 75th anniversary (being unceremonious)?

    • It looks very good! I personally don't care much for the logo, but it still looks very good! ;)

        Loading editor
    • Okay... if none of us can think of anything else to add, I guess the above example (the final example) would be the best result to choose for the logo! (Now, is this replacing the current one, or is it just an alternate logo?)

  • HenryDuckFan directid me here, so could you do two fauvors.

    1) I Was thinking the main could do with a spruce up with like company of the month and stuff. Would work well with a "top contributers award" as well.

    2) Can you add this to MedisWiki: common.css  

    /* === USERBOXES  === */
     
    table.userbox { float:left; margin:0.2em; padding:0; border-width:1px; border-style:solid; }
    table.userbox td.left, table.userbox td.right { text-align:center; vertical-align:middle; font-size:1.6em; padding:0; }
    table.userbox td.main { padding:0 4px; vertical-align:middle; line-height:125%; font-size:0.9em; }
    
    table.userbox { border-color:#aaa; background:#f8f8f8; }
    table.userbox td.left, table.userbox td.right { background:#d8d8d8; }

    • Yeah, I know that the code's useless at the mo. I suppose I shouldn't have slashed the bit about needing a week or so... xD

    • Ah, yes the boys have been having fun, haven't they? I used to watch Top Gear but it became more about stunts (like that) than about actually showcasing new cars so I gave it the flick. Do you watch it in the States? :)

      PS Apologies for the late reply. This time I have little excuse, other than lack of time...

        Loading editor
    • No, I've heard of it and have seen trailers and commercials for the series on Discovery, Travel, and (I think) Lifetime Network! The only show I pretty much watch on TV is The Clone Wars series! (And man, was the Season 5 finale very depressing!)

  • Sorry for bugging you so much about off-topic stuff, but did you know that a sugarcane railway existed in Queensland?
