Another cold day and another Texas Eagle (at least they didnt call it the Texas Express! :lol: )derailed up North last night! According to train orders around 9PM last night two miles North of STL the engine and 1 sleeper (trans dorm?)came off the rails! No injuries, no other info so far?
It's now running 9+ Hrs. late but heading South to a cold and icy/wet Texas but no snow drifts! :lol: Is the cold causing the problems with the rails? Last
time I rode the Eagle and it was freezing we had slow orders from AUS-TAY so UP could inspect the rails according to the conductor. First time Ive seen that down this way!
And speaking of AUS, lots of sad folks eating crow for breakfast and lunch today as the Mighty Crimson Tide did to UT what they'd done to Florida!
(The disclaimer, IF Colt hadnt gotten hurt..........!!!!!!) No matter, Alabama is an awesome team, Congrats to them even if their coach is an _________
________!!!! :lol: Well have to use the old Brooklyn mantra: "Wait till next year!!!"
