If you're travelling (mostly) somewhere east of the Mississippi, see if I have a guide for you at my www.railfanguides.us site
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....
Please note: This and
all of my pages are done with Frontpage, a Microsoft product.
If you use a non-uS browser such as Mozilla or Firefox, I can not
guarantee that you will see the pages the way I designed them.....
My mailbox post, and yes, it's lit at night.

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!
Note: my pages are
"done" using Frontpage, so if you use a non
Microsoft browser (as 64% of you do),
you may not
see the page exactly the way I designed it.
Here are some interesting stats (from both of my sites) on visitors from

Please note, we have moved on from SITEMETER
