[Jim Norton]

this last name thing is getting rediculus,i'm a firemane,an EMT,and a signalmaintainer for a major railroad. these are all high profile jobs and you better be able to back up everything you say and do. to the manegment etal,I suport you whatever you decide to do,i for one appreciate all you've done. someone mentioned the word custemer in a post, i don't recall being charged for this website and i couldn't find in 3 years of magizines where it is owed to US. i bet this started as a cool way for friends to expand a hobby,i'd say after the browe beatings they wonder why. you guys need to suck it up and get on with life before we loose this site alltogether jim norton

Jim - A RR man - great. I was raised by my grandparents in NorthCentral Pa as my Dad was killed on D Day - so the past week wasn't a good one for me. I did get to see his grave in France though, and I'll never forget that, it brings goosebumps even writing about it... but my grandfather - who became my Dad - was a Train Driver for the B&O for 53 years! He retired in 1959 - and passed away in 1988.

All three of the jobs I work are the Colorado area on the "old" DRGW..... (now UP). Soooo with all the slide fences (canyons etc) and old CTC i talk to my maintaners on a regualr basis Thats why I was curious... ... ...



The Moffat Tunnel is so much fun



My dad has been with the railroad since 77 (SP) , I been working for them since June 98.

Hey, jim, we ARE the site if you did not notice.

No members,=no sponsors.

No sponsors= no site

Once again, it is the principle of the thing, forgive us for not accepting things rammed down our throat.





BTW, I see Robert has listened to the majority.



I will try not to have opinions in the future if that will make you feel better.

You didn't get charged for using this site? How did you manage that? I thought you had to be a TDR member to post, and that costs, not a lot, and I am not complaining about having to be a member because it is worth every cent. Just wondering.
