    Great photos all around, and great captions for them.

    When is that coaling tower going to blast off?

    Looks like it's straight out of some old B&W sci-fi serial short the movie theaters played before the main feature.:cool:

    I believe the Conrail logo was called a can opener by some rail fans.

    Now look at Amazon's packages and delivery trucks. There's an arrow that goes from A to Z underneath AMAZON. Amazon can provide us with everything from A to Z.

    I can't argue with that. :cool:
