    MLK Day Topic- Slave To Sharecropper

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/reconstruction/sharecrop/index.html The way it was explained to me by my southern reltives was that Lincoln did not do the slaves any favor by "setting them free". How do you take a people who have lived there whole lives in one place and just let them go...

    First-timers: Hitching/hopping to CA from Chi.

    My take would be BN Aurora Eola Yard N of IL 14 and Liberty in East Aurora. Its a General Freight Yard. I would not ride stacks in this weather. Other Option would be the MP(UP) yard "Yard Center" in Dolton IL. Trains head south to St. Louis.

    RapidT, Asshole or Aspergers? Or is it possible to be both?

    Well I am aware of his attempts to make public the CC..which may be motivated by a enlighted self intrest to liberate this for a new generation of riders. But with the railfan internet that has thousands of pages and google maps and I phones that give real time info and virtual railroad scanners...

    RapidT, Asshole or Aspergers? Or is it possible to be both?

    Well you would think that the label "Mentally Ill" as a bad verb has gone the way of racist slurs like kike and niggard. Besides Aspergers is a form of autism and not a mental illness

    Drinks of the Road (booze)

    As I recall Scotch has to be made in Scottland. Jack Danials is a sour mash and even though its made in KY its not a bourbon. Boarbans seem to be sweeter then straigte whiskey. At my cigar club one of the 1% brought in a 500.00 bottle of scotch for the holidays . Glen Grant Scotch...

    RapidT, Asshole or Aspergers? Or is it possible to be both?

    Met this guy at a Occupy rally over the weekend. My take on him is that he is a foamer who is obsesed with trains. He also kept interupting me when I was trying to talk and his mannerisms seem to be that of someone who is austistic or having Aspergers. Heres what I can dig up on this disability-...

    External vs internal frame packs.

    picked up a metal frame pak from goodwill.

    Pair Found Dead in Coal Sought Freedom of Rails

    My take here is that they were stuck in the coal car when it got loaded at the mine. Once in a empty coal car there is no way out and coal dust makes the sides slippery. So imagine the horror of lining up and the train slowly going thru the mine loader at 3 miles per hour while the train is...

    Crossing State Lines with someone who is married could get you 3 years under the Fed Mann Act

    Where this is relevant is that if a group of young adults is pulled off a boxcar and you have some over 18 and some under 18 you could have a problem. I have seen older men hop trains with young girlfriends who are as young as 14. While that might be legal in Utah or West Virgina (as long as the...

    What role does your faith have in your sex life?

    I believe that the higher power created sex for procreation and pleasure between 2 concenting (or more if if you are in some sort of intentional community) adults in a commited realtionship. When sex is sold or traded it cheapens what the creator inteneded.

    RR police...has anyone gotten beat up by them in last 3 years?
