 Not back in 1979. They all had flush toilets.

Red Team tore them all out for the piss driddler and the bag and bucket shitter. That's when they turned into smelling just like everything the Red Team had - Eau d'Dirty Cunt.

The Red Team, the Red Team. Snippy, Snippy, Snippy . It's so funny how everyone who was a Green Team hostage thinks the Red Team took over and ran everything and how everyone from the Red Team knows how the Green Team phukked over Red Team members.

Weren't those flush toilets right straight down to the roadbed toilets? Seems like that's what I recall. Neither setup was very nice but I don't think any of the eastern roads had a good setup. Perhaps you know but we used to get LV, D&H, WM, occasional B&O, (Chessie, I guess). We'd also get UP, SP, and MOP power, MOP power had no crosswalks, no way to go back and check the function of those pesky fuel hoses (HA). Western power was nicer, SP and UP cabooses were far nicer, latter day UP cabooses were fine riding cars.

Ah, the cabeese. Setting right out in the cabeese, no modesty for the Green Team hostages. Yeah, now I remember.

Straight down to roadbed flush toilets? At places where trains frequently stopped I'm sure it was enjoyable on a hot humid day with no AC.

Thats why large sized ballast is used under the Ties rather than sand.

Self-cleaning roadbed.

For the purposes of this conversation, yes, 40 is young. Snippy is old, :cy: Cy is even older, and Uke, well, we won't even bring up how old he is.

Hey... Quit that! Uke's pheelings have been stripped raw by Snippy, several times since Burningjournaldotcom went to press this morning!

Those pheelings may take weaks to heel as a result oph Snippy's rubbing salt into them poen wounds!

Pretty interesting thredd... Here's a more definitive look at the overall 40X serries. Numbers, owners, etc. Supporting info, and one pic of a UP type with the HT-type trucks. Other than the few assigned ta BNSF at Interbay, seems the rest of the 40Xs are long gone, either scrapped, or picked apart for spares...

Joyce is in Columbus.

That pic isn't.  Been there numerous, numerous times, tu.

 I dont know if anybody noticed or not but the picture is taken in Ludlow KY.

So does that change anything?

It used to be Interbay and Auburn assigned engines that were at the end of
their service life. Now Everett has become a locomotive hang-out.
Just about an given day you can see 12-20 units sitting around.
So last Saturday I saw the BNSF 3034 on 644's train (Everett to
Sumas). The BN/BNSF Sumas Sub is where a generation of locomotives
make their last runs. The F-Unit's, GP7's/GP'9s, and cabooses made
their last runs on this line. So the BNSF 3034 GP40X running up this
line is a sure death sentence.

 Ludlow, right on the river opposite Gest Street Yard, location of the enginehouse and pit facilities.  Thus my comment, "That pic isn't.  Been there numerous, numerous times, tu".

Ehrlanger Hill, Yard Pusher, right out of Gest Street.

Yeah, Snippy knew that wasn't a famous Red Field in the Capital City of OH 10 derived from a woman's name that means happy and cheerful.
