If you can think of something to talk about that is not related to knives, discuss it here.

This popped up on Twitter this morning. Imagine being the engineer behind the controls on this beauty. Unfortunately this loco probably no longer exists.

Went to an American Legion function at the Cumberland Ali Ghan Shrine Club Campgrounds today, took some pictures of the narrow gauge rail road they have, powered by a Plymouth switcher. I have fond memories as a kid riding on the train there. They also have a 50 year old B&O little red caboose and some old crossing signals.

Brenda and I used to go to the rail road picnics put on there yearly by B&O and Chessie with our parents when we were kids. The draw for us kids was finding crawdads in the little stream, I think it's Evitt's Creek. The draw for our dads was the beer truck. 😉 Our mothers were the DDs.
