Yea it’s one of the titles that you either get or you don’t.

Every FReeper who is a railfan will get it.

Original titles shouldn't be changed on FreeRepublic. Parenthetical text can be added.

It’s major news in the IRM Facebook group. More important to the membership than the annual Thomas The Train visit.

The Burlington Northern - Santa Fe (”BNSF”) is the main rail operator here in North Idaho. The Rathdum Prairie and Purcell Trench are covered in rail lines. Yesterday I got stopped THREE times by their trains, two of those times were by the same train where the tracks run diagonally to the roads. So I see “BNSF” all the time on their engines and freight cars and knew this was a railroad post.

BNSF is the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad...the IRM is Illinois Railroad Museum...the SD70MAC is a locomotive

I got to visit 5 railroad museums... Illinois Railroad Museum, the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay, The railroad museum in St.Louis and Steamtown in PA..

Of course, I love trains...got a railroad museum on my model railroad layout..
