    Pretty cool. You can see the hillside wants to give way. Good thing the locks have already passed.

    I know that guy that was interviewed.

    Once again, I will say this. BNSF should have kept the Woodinville sub for detours of high priority freight for when instances like this happen. This is now twice this year alone it has happened. I think I would run out of fingers to count the amount of times the line has been closed since BNSF and d!p$h!t Ron Simms took out the rail.

    Sheesh...:wideeyes:

    He probably made more money off by selling that film than he made all year as a longshoreman.

    I know guys who use real dirt for ground cover on their layout. So why not use real mud?

    I talked to John last night about how much he made off of the video. He would not say exactly. However, he did say that he and the wife are planning on taking a family on a vacation with the $$$$. He did say though that the media price typically starts at $150 to buy the video. He said when his phone rang and it was CNN he knew he could get a TON from them.

    I am sure he wont as he is NOT a model railroader. The only reason he said he was taking the video was beacuse he was bored.
