All the brown spots from Vegas thru Idaho are served by regional line Salt Lake Express including pickups at the SLC and Boise airports :)

Ed, if you can spend a day or two in Salt Lake City (Zephyr) I would welcome you. My younger brother passed away last October and I have an extra bedroom for you to hang your bush hat on. I have always been an avid reader of your posts and am jealous! I would love to take you to my tavern and...

Lol! Nitpicker!😂

This is just one of the videos I have seen of LE Officers boarding a train to do an eviction: . Just sayin';)

I have.

I was able to book 934 from SLC-CHI Feb 3 right up to the point of payment

Typical Fox news (biased Republican news of course!), I clicked on stx link for the derailment video. It was almost 2 and 1/2 minutes but the first 2 minutes were Republican drivel and only the last half minute were about the derailment. Uggh!

I watched all of Stobie's videos that I could find! I have always had a wanderlust and was fascinated by that guy (RIP). I hitchhiked around the country many times in the early 70's after I got out of the Army and only stopped when I got the call from Conrail. I became a brakeman running Lines...

The flying boats that Chalk's used were Grumman Abatrosses and Mallards.

I have always been able to get something to eat on my LD trips, whether in coach or sleeper.

My experience on the Cardinal was the bumpiest ride I've ever had, but the visuals were incredible.

There is more to this story, maybe I will tell it someday!

Funny thing about HOS is that once their time runs out they go on hourly wage until another crew takes over.. Excellent paycheck for the train crew the longer it lasted.  I  made the biggest check I have ever had during a huge blizzard just outside Buffalo heading to Cleveland and we only made...

I have been doing my  excruciatingly best to avoid commenting on this, but...... Thirdrail is absolutely correct. Even if this had not happened in bad weather, it would have been handled in the same exact way. What's a small community Fire Chief going to do for a damaged locomotive except flag...

I guess I will be the first to respond cannonbal! Unless physics/math was a major, most people on this site would not understand what you are saying and quite naturally would not respond. I personally wondered about these things back in 1976 when I hired out as a brakeman in Buffalo on Conrail...
