Matt has been taken advantage of! All my sources do not agree with him (BNSF).

For the benefit of those not living in the US, and thus don't get domestic US news, can someone confirm the news (or lack thereof)?

Or should I take the picture of the cricket as evidence? Did Matt single-handedly and heroically save the day?

Geoff,

There is a complete lack of any such reports of trainoffs. Not a peep.

Given the depth and specificity of his posts - the date, trains affected, and the "gag orders" issued, and how it rowled a lot of people up on multiple rail boards, I really do think that an explanation is in order.

I have not been on the boards in several months-can somebody explain what is going on? So the rumor that trains 1-8 58-59 are going to be cut is false?

Appears to be nothing more than hogwash.
The main perpetrator of this hoax has lost what minimal credibility he had.
It is also interesting to note that the two "Save our Trains" groups he touts and names himself as Director of one -- appear to have no more than a handful of members. While I admit I did only a cursory Google search -- I find nothing that would give either he or the two groups any credible standing.

Yes, Virginia, there IS a Moderator.

Now how about completing the job and locking this one as well.

The other thread was a test to see if there really is a moderator. [Big Grin] [Cool]

And Gilbert, I could probably get this one locked, too. [Big Grin] [Wink]

BNSF1088 was branded on other RR forums but still appears to be active, nonetheless.

As I noted earlier, I can confirm that on July 15 (note new date, revised from July 3) an alien spaceship will beam all Amtrak equipment off-world (my source thinks Mars will be the destination). At the same time, Amtrak HQ will be sent back in time to 1948, and Amtrak management will be replaced by the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

I've worked in the railroad industry for 29 years, so all of this must be true.
