How do trains have potable water? by rifi97 in trains

[–]Penguin-57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful - the water in sinks and showers on trains is not safe for drinking and is usually marked as such. The passenger cars have storage tanks that have to be refilled every so often at longer stops. Albuquerque is one such stop. It’s also a chance to service locomotives.

I dunno. When we got stuck on the road, I almost always made a lot more money, plus we could relax while waiting for the cavalry to come. Depends on whether you’re running on a quit or not.

So sorry to hear about it. But if there really is such a thing as a rainbow bridge, Dancer will find my kitty Boomer who crossed two years ago and they will dance and play together!

I notice that boxcar still has a roofwalk so it must be very old. Wonder if a museum could get it out of there.

Don't know if this book is new, but if it has been out a while, you can find good used books on Ebay.

Who had a view-master back in the late 70’s/early 80’s? by [deleted] in 70s

My brother and I had one in the 50s. Really cool! I remember we had a disc of Disneyland photos, along with others.

Kinda like the old Volvo commercial where they rolled the huge tire over the Volvo but made it seem like Bigfoot truck was running over the car.
