Railroads

"I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a train." (Apologies to Joyce Kilmer.) Trains excite me because of their efficiency, massiveness, and the sense of adventure they evoke. To be close to a passing train is to approach nirvana: the sights, sounds, and vibrations are heavenly. If I have to stop at a grade crossing to wait for a train to go by, I take it not as an impediment to my perpetual motion in a car, but as another aspect of life to be savored.

My Places galleries contain these railroad-related sub-galleries:
Potash, Utah and Bootlegger Canyon, Utah (site of Corona Arch)

I heard last night that a CSX train can carry one ton of freight over 400 miles on one gallon of fuel (for our metric friends, that converts to simply amazing). This was from a CSX commercial, but since truth in advertising laws you can always trust what you hear in commercials. What an intelligent way to haul freight.

Thanks for stopping by, Dave. Yes, I am in that 99.9% you mention, but no more after checking out the definitive volume of info you provide on your site. First I thought, 'he should write a book' - then I realized you already have! I live in a small AL town surrounded by two sets of tracks, North and East. I appreciate the charm of the whistles throughout the days&nights, the graffiti, the awesome 'organic patterning' (rust) and colorations and, now, this opp to learn more in-depth. Just a few miles from here is Irondale, AL where "The Whistle Stop Cafe" referenced by Fannie Flagg is located. It's a town where it's just impossible to ignore trains - the conductors still wave!

Dave, I could not vote for second time... So, your program has some internal bug, please, check... Where is gal here, btw ?
Dave Beedon08-Jul-2006 10:44
Thanks, Dan. This confirms the effectiveness of my self-voting program (see my previous comment).
Guest 08-Jul-2006 09:57
You're popular Dave! Some one musta voted DD
1moremile07-Jul-2006 01:03
Nice gal.

Thanks for the heads-up, Dan. The weeks of programming effort to create a self-voting routine finally paid off. I will use it selectively to avoid raising any suspicions. For the appropriate financial consideration I can direct its wondrous power toward any PBase userID. This is a great way to improve one's image in the eyes of one's entourage, hangers-on, and shipmates. Contact me at www.pleasehitmyphotogalleriesbigtime.org. Principals only; no weekend surfers.
