    Good one, Hemi, I had forgotten what the Conrail emblem was nicknamed. This must have been Conrail Week, eh?

    Sure was! I have a soft spot for Conrail. Grandfather worked for PRR, PC and Conrail before he retired.

    I bet there are a lot of us on here who are envious of the careers our grandfathers had. I know I am one.

    You are not alone. They worked, hard for the most part. Earned their keep and were immensely proud. Both family, (plus friends thus employed), along with my own personal job contacts in the industry, only cemented my railroad interest, forever.

    Indeed, quite a bit of Big Blue! My favorite by far is Hardcoaler's overhead view of that bridge.
