1) If I was seriously doing that, I would buy the domain http:www.panamrailways.com, which they have not seemed to have done.
They are weird, plain and simple. There is no way around it.

2.) In Hampton, they are about to begin rebuilding the bridge over the old B&M Eastern Route on Exeter Rd. (Rte. 27). Construction starts in a few weeks. The bridge was so dilapitated, that our town's fire engines have not even been allowed to go over it for several months now. I am curious to see how they will deal with Gillfid coming down this Hampton Branch to Foss Manufacturing (which is the only customer left in the Hampton area). Although Gillfid only comes down to deliver the little pellets in those covered hopper (maybe they arent hoppers) cars every week or 2, maybe less, its still a tight squeeze under there.
3.) The State has posted orange construction warning signs in each direction a few miles from the bridge to warn people of the coming repairs, because the road will be closed. On the signs, it reads "....Construction on the bridge over B&M railroad.....", which I find cool. It'll always be B&M baby!
4.) Even though Hampton rail activity is all but dead, and the line South of Foss is abandoned,
B&M IS STILL THE BEST RAILROAD EVER!
I have always like the names of the local stuff, B&M, Springfield Terminal, Maine Central......it was all once a big happy family. I even like the sounds of "Guilford Rail System", or maybe I just like the sound of "(anything) Rail System" lol. But man, Gillfid really is a messed up entity.
I wish they would bring it all back, and rebuild the Eastern Route
And if they rid of the B&M, MC, and ST tags, we should run them out!!!!!!!
