First things first; Newsday should only be used to line your bird cage. Their extreme bias and lack of anything intellectual has been the trend for many years. Most media outlets named the victims well before they did. Freightguy brings up some solid points. You take a serious gamble running around ...

The cameras are also rolling continuously whether keyed in or not, and the storage drives can hold up to thirty days worth of footage. The cab areas are equipped with audio recording as well. Footage will be an aid in monitoring everyone from T&E crews, mechanical, coach cleaners, ROW incidents ...

scopelliti, wake up and smell the coffee pal. Politics played a SIGNIFICANT role in the demise of not just the Ringling Bro, but the industry in general. Specifically, the animal activists who tend to be in greater numbers on the left. Was it the sole reason? Of course not, technology is also to bla...

The consensus is that the amount of spectators (buffs) were significantly LESS than last week for the final hurrah. The left wing animal activist people are rejoicing that this Circus completed its final act for good. Little disappointing if you ask me but I guess it is a sign of the times.

Pubulius I know the engineer you speak about. That is quite an honor being one of the last engineers to handle that train. I am curious if TRAINS magazine sent out their staff to document this monumental event. He's going to be famous!

Krispy, nice post. Might I suggest a good fishing spot since you ventured up north a bit. In Cross River, when you get off Rte 35 for Rte100, the Muscoot Reservoir is a great spot to do some fishing. This new "Fisherman Train" is going to have the same clientele the Jury train. A bad hombr...
