    I feel sorry for the cops that made that decision. When I die, I turn into worm food.

    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    It was a bad decision on her part to break the law and trespass on Railroad property. It was a tragic decision and a beautiful young woman is dead and a life wasted. STAY AWAY FROM RAILROAD PROPERTY. Expect a train at ANY TIME, ANY DIRECTION, ANY TRACK! And with today's welded rail, you...

    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    As I railroader I agree with this 100%!!! One engineer told me her snuck up on 3 hearing kids. They were on a 10MPH track so the train was not going fast. He blew the horn about 200 feet from them. They did not know the train was coming til he blew the horn. He said it was hillarious. But...

    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    Railroad Right of Way is private property. If you are walking within 10 to 15 feet of the tracks, most likely you are trespassing on RR property. As for enforcement, there is not enough RR police out there to enforce it. Train crews are suppose to report any trespassers, but we mostly just...

    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    Why don't you ask the railroader who works on trains EVERYDAY! I can't feel a train until it is actually going by. Especially at hight speeds, you don't feel it. You can, if you're hearing, hear the rails "sing" to you about 30 seconds, maybe less, before it comes. That is it. With todays...

    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    TheSpirit is 100%. Locomotives travel the country and go where they are needed. I like rail photography and love to see locomotives I have had in my train all over the place. Another thing about the plow, it is also useful for removing items on the track. Kids like to place large object in...

    Miss Deaf Texas struck by train, killed

    All north american locomotives come with snowplows. That is because all the railroads run in all different weather. So, every locomotive is built with a snowplow.

    Terri Schiavo's former husband Michael married again

    I am not religeous, but talking on the religeous side. God wanted her back then. Humans stopped God's will and kept her alive artificially. Now, she is where God wanted her back when this all started.

    Room temperature

    Less heat is good. When you keep the house too hot, it makes the environment better for germs. More germs means getting more sick. Since I have been keeping my house cool, say between 60º and 65º, I have been getting less sick, plus saving $$$ on heat. When I am out for a trip, I lower it...

    Do you feel when you go washroom at night time?

    I find that I go to the bathroom more frequently at night when I have someone sleeping in the bed with me. I guess I am not as comfortable. But, it isn't unusual for me to wake up having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

    Mom Sues After 5-Year-Old Allegedly Served Long Island Iced Tea

    Another thing, her son didn't know it wasn't apple juice? I would expect by age 5, the son would say "Mom, this apple juice tastes funny". Report doesn't say how much did the kid drink and what the kids alcohol level was.

    Mom Sues After 5-Year-Old Allegedly Served Long Island Iced Tea

    I guess it is possible. The bartender poured the premix Tea instead of apple juice. But, $75k is rediculous

    To shower or not to shower?

    I love my showers, but working on the railroad, I'll get dirty anyways, so I will just shower later...that is if I need a shower when I wake up. With my job, because I work on call, I get called 2 hours before work anyways.

    someone explain network cards for me...

    It sounds like it has WIFI built in. When you get more advanced, other things you may want to do is set encryption at your house. That way, the data is secure. Another thing, at my house, I have set up my access point so that only certain computers can connect to it. That is for a more...
