This past year was also one of the most profitable years in railroad history. Stay cool and run steam....
I really like that "Service worth waiting for!" - That's just choice.... You could do a takeoff on NP: "Route of the all-Coach Low Luxury Limited"
I know it's hard to believe, but the past year was the safest in the history of railroading. Ever! [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]Well, they must have changed the reporting standards. Or must be failing to report incidents of all types required. BNSF has splattered plenty of trains across the landscape along the old GN High Line. Boxcab E50
Nope, usually something that kills a man is on the evening CNN Breaking News. The new remote control locomotives have save dozens of lives. The railroads have had problems with them, sure, and it's cost a lot of money. It was worth it though, since it saved money formerly paid out in law suits.
My bro inlaw worked for UP. Most of the workers thought that "we can handle it" read as "f#@% it!" Needless to say, moral was not high. So no matter what you come up with, your little people track workers will definately have more flowery versions of the slogan. Do you have a crack passenger train? My little multi roadname layout the Suspiscious River and Glimmering has its own Zephyr, known as the Glimmering Zephyr. Sometimes the GZ is a string of silver fluted cars with a pair of E's, other times its one lone Doodlebug. depends on my mood. Either way it's still a zephyr.
How about "The Iodine Line"? That might fit Pete's layout too. (I just reread the Stupid Mistake 47/ Chopper thread, ouch!)
"Leave the Learning to us" "You can lead a man to knowledge. You can't make him use it" - Steve Goodenough (screamed at my father. cost me 2 weeks grounding)
I'll bet there's an airline that's trademarked this one!!! Boxcab E50 </font>[/QUOTE]Overheard many, many years ago at the old Southern Airline counter in Atlanta...... Passenger - Now that I'm ticketed, I would like my bag to go to Shreveport. Agent - But, Sir, we can't do that...you're going to Gulfport. Passenger - I don't know why, you did it last week!
I thank everyone who participated in this non-rewarding exercise. I have examined each and every suggestion and have come up with an amalgum of phrases. "When You Want To Ship Twice, We Are The Ones To Use"
