That's awesome!

(However I'm sure that AOC and her New Green Deal cohorts will scream if they see the video with all that coal smoke...)

Doubt if this locomotive is part of your business but thought it was pretty cool. Union Pacific spent 6 years restoring one of the legendary Big Boys - it just steamed a few days ago under its own power for the first time since 1962.

Very cool. For those who like this I highly recommend the B&O museum in Baltimore.

When VNAV isn't doing what you want, get rid of that bitch and FLCH

A couple years later and I gotta say I strongly concur with this statement.

Unless your machine is also monitoring the cabin temperature for comfort, the APU information is useless.

I agree, very neat! Go for sure. Oh yeah, when you're there in Baltimore make sure you go to the part of town known as Little Italy, some great restaurants.

Also, Max's on Broadway in Fell's Point, with 70 beers on tap and 200 in bottles.

For those of you interested in trains, a great article from the NYT.

I'm reading the 5-year-old Seattle comments on this thread and amusedly shaking my head. I actually ended up in the vicinity of Renton/Kent (not blech after all if you're in the right places). The firearm laws are beginning to get positively stupid (c'mon SCOTUS). Ballard and Green Lake have filled up with addicted homeless bums, though things are finally reaching a breaking point and the new mayor and city attorney may yet (finally) get a handle on things. God help anyone buying real estate on the Eastside, because it's officially more expensive there than San Francisco now.
