I've wondered what's going on over there. It has been a ghost town, haven't pulled shiney new Metra cars out of there in awhile.

Yall gotta chill. When I was a very small railfan 6 years ago the new california cars were the hype. That's what I meant.

Sorry Bud, My comment was not meant to insult you.
Merely point out that your still a young man and you'll see alot of innovation and destruction (in regard to railroading) in your lifetime.

Again, sorry I did not mean anything nasty by my comment. *!embar*!
