The rest of the postes from yesterday N today

Yep Yep Yep, CSX is improving, but I admit it's still my favorite railroad to pick on and to bash..
But yeah... I do like CSX anyhow :) ... Truth is there is not a railroad I really don't like even if I getting into bashing mode after the trains fall off their tracks... they have made lots of improvements... Keep the tracks maintained, trains and equipment maintained, do not over work the employees.. Then no railroad has to worry about my ranting about them.. other then the WSOR... who has to listen to my occasional Hire me! I want to work for you! rants lol.

I am no longer promising to update this blog at certain times, because... I tend to be like Amtrak in that regard, Some things will be early or on schedule.. but it tends to be sporadic.. althought I heard that Amtrak has done a better performance on that end too. Depends on the routes you take.
