Nice train again, Walter. Thumbs up! :) I wasn´t able to understand the wireless talk. Was there something special happening on the wireless? Why was the rail-worker walking beside the train? Greetings Mega
Railroads are not governed like the trucking company who I think must answer to the D.O.T. It is governed by the Federal Railway Administration Which is A dept that is like the FAA over the airlines industry. Strict rules of inspection and safety standards are in place to insure the public safety. In addition trains are inspected constantly by yard inspectors, maintenance people and the crews, The FRA can make it quite expensive in fines and penalties if they fail to adhere to the standards.
Walter, I have a question: How far did that guy walk along the tracks and why didn't the engineer drop him off farther down? Just curious! Is that a NS exercise program? Thanks . . . Great catch as always!!! Dave Long Island, NY
Im not familier with the NS line in Georgia. Im mostly used to the CSX, Norfolk Southern lines around the Washingtion D.C metro area. Do you know about most of the Georgia Norfolk Southern line?
Many folks give credit for the invention of the microwave oven to Percy Lebaron Spencer of the Raytheon Company. Others give credit to pwalpar, who invented the microwave because he was tired of hearing his wife complain about bringing home cold chicken after railfanning..
