Regarding Daylight Time, it must be extremely costly to change millions of clocks twice a year. ... Another useless "accomplishment" by Congress.
Sherrel - You are right about Daylight Savings Time. It can really screw things up if all of the states aren't on the same time. Indiana does not change times and the whole state with the exception of the northwest corner near Chicago. Confusing ? Don't know what will happen up here. If you are coming across North Dakota, the time change is at about Bismarck where it goes from central to mountain time. Depending on what time of year, you could have to go back to central time when you hit the Montana border. Th same would happen if you went south from Montana into Wyoming. A watch would probably confuse things even more.
At least if that happens, I'll have an excuse for not knowing if I'm Coming or going.
Chet. It must have been interesting watching the Little Joe being moved. I'm wondering why the E9 had "MRL" on it.
Joe ... when I hear the phrase "scientific studies", I become skeptical. ... LOL. ... Ooops. I had better be quiet before I'm accused of being a denier by somebody out there. LOL.

Chet ..... Another locomotive is about to be hauled with a machinery mover contractor. It is the 4-8-4 steam locomotive at a city park in Nashville. It is the NC&StL "Dixie". It will be in the shops for a couple of years preparing for excursion train service.

Wow thats amazing!!I believe that Montana Rail Link (MRL) did the restoration of the E-9 in their Livingston, Montana shop. They have one heck of a shop there. When MRL first started out, they were rebuilding locomotives from other railroads for their use. I can remember driving past the shops and seeing dozens of locomotives, many ex CNW locomotives lined up awaiting their trip to the shops for rebuilding.

This is the J3 - 576 that is being restored, I just found this at http://www.nashvillesteam.org/history/
Wow so cool!
It's very interesting to me that everyone wants to restore a 4-8-4 to steaming condition.
Why don't they pick something else that would give a variety to the steam community.
Too bad that no one thought to keep around one of the NYC Hudsons, or is their one somewhere that I am not fam with?
Wow so nice to see it in color (so cool!!!)Tony ... I took this photo of the Dixie about five years ago. I took another last week in the rain, but it is not a good photo. .... So far no signs of it being moved from the park. .... Thanks for the link .
Chet .... That is very interesting about Livingston.
