I would encourage other TFers to shoot some viddy of their favorite trains. Add on a little
music on You Tube. Free and easy- just remember to list the end product as "public,"
which I saw often forget.

The crummy and the pulpwood. Two of my favorite pieces. Ooops, and the AHM 3 bay hopper!

Itsa PC state of mind, Pokemon...basically, besides growing up in the shadow
of the PC and its eminent downfall, I am intrigued how at the end the
dispatchers would cobble up some of the most unusual lash ups to
move its sadly dilapidated cars- switchers on point, etc. I guess I
admire the last-gasp determination of the railroad and its people,
fighting the inevitable odds, trying to make it work even though
the end loomed in sight.
Another little known reason why the PC collapsed so utterly into
bankruptcy: the corporation borrowed money so it could continue
to pay dividends on PC stock, even though the cash flow was
negative. Under the auspices of the PRR, it had paid stock dividends
for over a century. They literally went for broke, even though everyone
knew they were sunk.
