I didn't believe it when I read the text message this morning. I still didn't believe it after talking with Jimzim66 on the phone. It still doesn't seem even real as I type this. Whether just by reading his posts or knowing him in person, John lived and breathed the railroad and took immense pride i...

The only reason I asked about the division situation is because I would really dislike driving 2 hours to work, work 8-X hours, than drive 2 back. I cant understand how anyone would enjoy that. LOL, welcome to the railroad. Like everyone else said, divisions and lines are a long time away and the l...

When an eastbound train arrives into Red Bank, Middletown, Hazlet, or Matawan station and stops in the station short of the road, after a set period of time the crossing gates will raise ahead of the train and allow auto traffic to pass.

Bring on the pee cup!

A lot of those Asian companies make "knock off" antennas that are similiar to designs by other big names like Diamond and Comet among others... Build quality can vary, but if you look at alot of these types of these Asian auctions, they'll advertise the same antenna in two different auctio...

Ridiculous, yes. But when it comes to time to go, it is the conductor's watch that counts.
