Once and a blue monn, I love to day dream about what I would do if I hit the Mega Millions. One of the thing I would do is purchase my very own private passenger train. Yes indeed. My train would consist of the following equipment: A pair of F40's, baggage car, 4-5 coaches, a lounge car, one full diner, 4 sleepers, dome car and a observation car to bring up there rear. I think that would be one hell of a train. I don't think that Amtrak even runs a passenger train with that many sleepers on it. Watch out North America, here comes the Nate train. When I am not using the train, I guess I could lease it out to companies for trips or groups for outings. Here is another wild thought, I could purchase a SD70ACe to save on fuel and maintance cost. Fans and crews would love that.
Anways, enough of daydreaming. Here is a link to a site that I love to watch. This site is about a guy that saved a F40 from the scrap lines, Amtrak F40 231. http://www.f40phr231.org/index.html
If interested, I have a small section of F40's on my website located at http://www.clevelandtrains.net/ngallery/

Happy New Year! I know I am about 3 weeks late, oh well.
If you have been the website, www.clevelandtrains.net lately, you will find that I have done some house keeping. Instead of having all those links on the homepage, they are now located in the Photo Gallery section. Why there? Well first, it saves a lot of time for me to update the website. Instead of using some HTML editor, I can just upload my photos to the server through the software and within a few seconds they are ready for the world to view. Second, it is a photo database that allows me to keep track of photo details. So it works out for me.
I have not heard much about the MRL SD70's lately. Trains magazine is doing a update on this units. Stay tuned.
NS is running the new EMD's. I am keeping my eye open for these babies.
Well, I should get back to work now.
