I like Trains

[JohnnySavage]

That's all.

I ride this between DC and NYC every few weeks. I like to shop at the Italian Deli's in NYC. DC doesn't have much of a selection to feed god's chosen people (Italians, not Jews).

I have been pestering CSX for years to let me ride in the cab of one of these:

I even offered to pay. I think I'm wearing them down though and hope to ride on the train to Pittsburg.

Very close to the Savage Estate:

Sweet! It looks kind of 'Buck Rogers-ish' to me; cool.

I used to have a Lionel train set when I was six. You know, the kind with the cars that were still made out of metal, and you poured this weird liquid stuff into the engine to create smoke puffs from the stack.

Wish I still had it; they're collectors' pieces, now.

You might enjoy this profusely illustrated, mile-by-mile, photo-journal description of the original route of the B&O as well as the Metropolitan (D.C.) Branch. It's fascinating.

The same website follows the westbound course of:

The B&O's 1873 Metropolitan Branch, now CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision, starts in Washington, DC and progresses northwest to Weverton, MD, and then to Harpers Ferry, WV as the Cumberland Subdivision.

Also, here's a Flickr subscriber with a gargantuan passion for photographing modern trains: http://www.flickr.com/photos/royluck/sets/72157625882946386/

The photos are spectacular.

Did you bump this in hopes of Laurel posting a photo of a train tattoo?

Pathetic.

I bet you've pulled a train or two in your day.

What is it with us dagos and trains?

We don't trust airplanes since they took the propellers off.

Always dug trains. Still do. Can't wait to tour Europe. Hell, if theres anything left by the time I get there.

My grandfather was a train conductor in Peru when he was a kid, started at 15. Eventually he became a truck driver and a volunteer fireman.

I've ridden trains long distance a few times, always an experience.
