it, you missed it
Bienvenue. Pour tous ceux qui sont en train de visiter mon site. Je suis désole, mais je ne maîtrise pas la langue Française pour pouvoir traduire mes pages en Français. Mais il existe un excellent site sur la signalisation canadienne et américaine par Martin Lévesque à: http://regle105.quebectrain.com/
See my new stuff list at the bottom of the page....

Port Road Trip
Saturday June 16th, 2012
The Conrail Historical Society has scheduled an excursion from Washington,
D.C. with a stop in Baltimore, and then to Perryville and up the
Susquehanna River to
Harrisburg, via the "Port Road," Shocks Mill Bridge, Enola, Rockville
Bridge, Harrisburg, and Columbia. The stop in Baltimore was made just for
folks who want to sleep in a bit, or who would rather park in Baltimore than
Washington. Power will be Bennett Levin's restored PRR E8s 5711 and 5809, as
well as an expected Amtrak GE diesel (Heritage Fleet requested). Price is
$172.50, including complimentary box lunch and guide book. Go here for
details:

I try to live my life in a good way,
trying my best to be considerate of others, and not screwing them over...
There are people out there that do not care about you and me the same way,
So, if you're looking for a cable box to buy outright and avoid paying the
high rental fees that Comcast, Verizon and others charge,
Please check out
this page
before you buy to avoid one scam,
Especially noteworthy, they are now trying to sell you a generator that "makes
free electricity",
But it takes a 50HP motor (37.3 KW) to produce 30 KW!
I don't usually post links to videos,
but this one is a gotta see...
