He wasn't being a jerk. I agree with John that the post was uncalled for. You should check your facts before you call someone a jerk on a public forum.

So what is the extra BNSF power? SD40-2s, Geeps, or something else?

Metra F40PHM-2's and MP36PH-3S's. When (whoever said it first) referred to "extra BNSF power" they meant extra BNSF-assigned Metra power. Freight engines don't have head-end power generators for passenger equipment.

They moved 611 and 614 over to the track next to the mains. It looked like they might of had cables connected to a line of out-of-service coaches. We went by kind of fast for me to see clearly.

Huh?

CNW4404,

I think that your comment was totally uncalled for and was a malicious attack on Nick. Given that Nick is not a forum moderator, I think that you likely ment something else but didn't want to say it on the forum. Never the less, I am very troubled by the level of immaturity you have shown on a public forum. I call on the moderators to remove CNW4404's post because it is a direct violation of the guidelines MetraRI put in place.

Lets stop acting like politicians and/or children, end the name-calling and let this whole thing go. Please mind your manners and don't settle personal conflicts in a public setting as it is rude to those who may stumble into the situation unwillingly.

I respect and would like to hear every opinion that anyone may have. Please keep it relivent to Metra, There are sites out there where bashing eachother is a welcome item, I have yet to find that ideal welcome here.

This is a unique place where we can share/compare things we may have missed while we were doing other things. I.E. If it weren't for this site, I think it would be hard for us to track locomotive assignment changes.

Please do not deter others by making them feel unwelcome or uncomfortable by means of insult. I find that to be very rude.

I'll second Scotty's post and request that this discussion end now. I've got the lock in my hand! :P

CNW4404,

Take your childish antics elsewhere. You're seventeen, and it's time to start acting like it.
