      TID: WWIV NET5.7.1.0001       MSGID: 1:123/126 60B83D3E       CHRS: CP437 2       TZUTC: -0400       PID: WWIV 5.7.1.0001       I was driving in Greenville, SC and the interstate crosses a railroad track.        I could see the cars , but the power was underneath the interstate. As I        drove over it, I saw the engines come out, and almost wrecked the car,        thinking I was seeing BNSF pumpkins, which are extremely rare on this side of        the country. Unfortunately, I realized they weren't BNSF, but a shortline        called the Carolina Southern. I'd forgotten they had an orange paint scheme        as well.       Still, it got my heart racing in ways it hasn't in some time. I haven't been        out railfanning seriously in over 20 years. Used to go all the time, and wife        and I would plan vacations around railfanning. I do miss the hobby. And the        excitement of seeing power far from home, as evidenced by my reaction to the        orange engines...              Ah, the good old days.              -Craig       /-------------------------------------------------------------\        he Trading Post [SOUTH] BBS - Telnet: ttps.dyndns.org:2323         WWIVNet - Fidonet - StarNet - FSXNet - SFNet         HobbyNet - PiNet        \-------------------------------------------------------------/                       --- WWIV 5.7.1.0001        * Origin: ** The Trading Post [SOUTH] BBS -=- Columbia, SC ** (1:123/126)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 700 1016 1017 240/5832 249/206 317 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 298/25 26 301/1 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 3634/12 261/38 712/848 770/1 317/3 298/25 14/0 229/426           |
