I agree with you completely Engineer Spike. Many of the discussion sites including this one have gone quiet lately, with some categories sitting for days or weeks without new postings. There are already enough discussions of what is everybody's favorite "this or that".
I don't participate in this site as much as I used to. When you look at the stuff that is allowed to stay versus the stuff that they find fault with, you can see why. For example, the posts by individuals who are newly registered on RRdotNet and are "phishing" for information and drawings to allow them to build "pirate parts" should be deleted from the discussion as soon as they are posted. They are simply an effort to steal information disguised as a railfan discussion.
On the roads that had marine operations, the Marine Department was part of the railroad, and a number of major railroads ran Cleveland Diesel or Winton engines. (Lehigh Valley, Erie, New Haven, Virginian, New York Central, and Pennsy among others).
