Railfanning during hard times

Jun 23, 2009 5:22 PM
It is harder and harder for people to get out and do the things they love. I am glad we have programs to watch about trains when it is a time in this country that makes travel difficult.

That is a great idea! I am fortunate enough to hear the steam on the local tourist railroad from my hose as it lumbers through the valley and hate to say I take it for granted but I guess I do. Maybe railfans could couch surf their way around the country to see the lines they want to.

Talking to yourself, telling yourself how great your idea is not what a normal person does.

Just luring you into my web so I can tell you that you have nothing useful to offer other than to complain about programming.... go buy a tank and play with it.

I care about the fact that this channel is not living up to its name. I could care less about matt, whether he is a pro or not. I just want this show to stay cancel and to be followed by Life After People, Ax Men and Ice Road Truckers.

Shoot, you'd be surprised how many railfans buy locomotives. I'd LOVE to see sovietcollector cap his collection with a T-34/55 tank. Heck, my best friend has a Geep (correctly spelled with a G)

MSURLO It is those railfans that perserve those and even much smaller pieces of history, but I am sure you know that. I would love to have a tank if I had the room and money. Maybe I will win the lottery someday. I know MSURLO we have both disagreed at times. I do seem time at times do nothing but complain about the programming. I just want to see the programs have more history in them. The Railroads have a rich a colorful history which is not being explored or being done justice to by this show.
