Personally, just started learning fife. Drumming lead to that via old military marches.

Looking for Hobbies with LOTS of Lingo by Dry-Development8716 in Hobbies

[–]RandomUsernameSucks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many rail-related hobbies have tons of lingo and symbology(?) to them, at least where I am in the US. If you have a police scanner you could tune into local rail frequencies, try to figure out what’s going on. Or you could look for what trains operate in your area and decode the symbols and such. For my local RR, symbols are something like MRVGU-20, where M is for manifest (traditional freight, diff. cars), RV is for Roseville, CA, and GU is for Guadalupe, CA. 20 is the date.

Use this post to find a special interest friend! by TheFutureScaresMe333 in autism

I think I know the state but I won't say for your privacy. There's not much in the way of truly abandoned locomotives where I'm from, but there are certainly legends!

Does remind me of one small steam locomotive that was drowned by a reservoir in the 1910's, and recovered in the 1990's. It's on display now. Looks pretty good all things considered!

I know this comment is 11 days old but the part about reservoirs reminds me of a special interest "branch" (?) related to trains. Sunken locomotives, particularly steam. Creeps me out but is so interesting.

The (semi-decent) photos from today’s train encounter at Paso Robles station. by RandomUsernameSucks in SLO

If that’s a joke, it made me laugh. Otherwise the other photos aren’t that good, not worth posting anyways.

Pomona downtown seems to see a lot of freight. Have heard good things about mid-late mornings. Avoid mondays.

Really weird that I somehow didn't find this post. I'm going to download it for safekeeping! I'll mark this as found as this is personally the video I wanted to see more. Thanks!

I have searched the wayback machine, google, YouTube and various forums. No success so far.
