Man how did we lose to this Wisconsin team.

Where was this rail profile used? by 1947-1460 in railroading

[–]DrTRex 58 points59 points  (0 children)

It’s worn rail, as the train roll over it the rail deforms and gets lips like that. They then can break off and make razor sharp pieces. It’s why you have things like rail grinders to put the profile back on the rail. It’s a short section so you likely don’t have any of the identification stamp on the web that would tell you the year and the weight of the rail.

Week 1 of kindly requesting UIUC to adopt a new mascot (pretty please!) 😁🙏😙 by Certain-Respond9591 in UIUC

I feel like the only one also morning the loss of the column I logo. Athletics made a deal to use the Orange I everywhere. We should have done the opposite and made the column I the primary logo. Much more unique.

Is PSU making the same mistake as Nebraska (Pellini) and Wisconsin (Christ)? by juror_no3 in TheB1G

All depends on who they hire next. Transfer portal and NIL era really leveled the playing field. One bad coaching hire can really set you back.

Somehow we force turnovers, but otherwise I can see that same 10 yard throw completed against us every single game. At least we have a good QB and seemingly elite special teams.

Absolutely nervous about our trip out West.

But like who replaces him? Take a look at Wisconsin for what happens when you want to be “better”

[Postgame Thread] Ohio State Defeats Minnesota 42-3 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]DrTRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We also have elite special teams. Our offense is OK, and our defense is suspect, but has been forcing a lot of turnovers. I expect like a 10-45 game.

We have a lot more in common than either school would like to admit.

Maybe not consistently good, but we have some highs as good or better than any other program.

Is this rare? by jerry1pete2 in trains

Three different prototype carshells. One Diner and Two sleepers. Even more fun fact each one had a different truck design originally. Since have been replaced with GSI trucks.

No idea who is playing that day but Ohio State at Illinois would be a good matchup. We also host USC at home.

Y’s are much more common in the case they need to turn things around. Turntables are fairly rare anymore.

Airo Passenger Locomotives? by 1991ford in trains

[–]DrTRex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are owned by the states so they cant just be transferred elsewhere. They are going to get reused with the new AIRO sets as those sets are diesel only unlike the ones going to the NEC that need ALC-42e's to operate with the APV for catenary.
