Likes trains. Doesn't like bullies. Trees are also cool. Works in Criminal Justice. #trains
No sweat.

I enjoy the railway content on bsky, but don't always remember to like or comment.

I keep reading "Challender" as "Challenger," and wondering why BNSF have adopted a UP word.

Nice pic.

Those fourwheelers look for all the world like NZR "L" type. Especially with the orange tarpaulin.

Well, a salt planet might knock off the kikuyu, perhaps. Possibly. From a certain point of view.

I was one of the lucky ones.

I was in West Chicago a month or so ago during a lull in the fighting, and waitied for a good ten minutes at a level crossing as two westbound freight trains were fleeing on the double tracks - one ever so slightly faster than the other. I hope they made it to the safe haven of Iowa.

Fortunately, the legible handwritten note that will someday be needed to save a life probably won't include mathematics.

That was the long-held hope, that more women would mean a better Police. But there's a woman or two at the top of the Coster-Fuck of a situation. So maybe not a critical mass yet?

Well, as I told a constable I know the other day "just remember it's only the 99% that make the rest of you look bad."

Oh I agree he's a shit. But that's why I think he'd have put the boot in.

Either way, he owes Tamantha Paul an apology. And the whole country for that matter.

I'm picking he didn't. He was quite junior when he left - and would enjoy putting the boot in on a deputy commissioner or two, three, four.

They'll put bollards up at national police headquarters - and fog cannons.

It bet for a prosecution.

What a Coster-Fu*k of a situation.

One thousand hours at $600 per hour including gst?

Thus, the "Free Speech Union" paradox.

The chances of President Bondi NOT expelling Ohio from the Union by 2035 is remote.

Also a potential for an 'extraordinary circumstances' claim.

But all very circumstance specific.

Short answer yes, if it can be shown to be for household purposes.

Hi Steve.

Do you know... is that depot yellow a purely SP thing, or does it date from the CP days?

Ta.

The Aurora Branch Railway thanks you.
