  2. I’m guessing that’s not the monkey that took over a remote site’s switching duties when his owner got too sick to get out of bed?

  3. It was also thought that humans would not be able to breathe when the cars were doing more than 40 mph.

  4. The second one – so my wife is not the only person that stories wander around and never get to a point?

  5. Those Great Northern locomotives are impressive, especially that 2-10-2 “Santa Fe” style. That looks powerful even standing still.

  6. The video was cool, watching how real men worked to build a locomotive.

    I really really need to get that British Railways book of mine that is at least 60 years old, showing the results of German bombing on the railways and terminals…

  7. My testicles do flap at 60 mph, but only when I fire up the bike before I put on my pants, get eager, & forget to dress.

  8. My grandfather worked for the pennsylvania railroad in the yards at Altoona, Pa for 40 years . There were a lotta tracks running thru in the 50’s. He would give me some huge ball bearings to impress my marble playin friends. Riding around the Horseshoe Curve west of Altoona was cool.
