Well guys, we're up to $2 billion for Stage 1. When someone asks you how much you paid for your car, you add 30 years of future insurance, gas, driving fees, and service charges, right?

Nice to see more trainsets on site! Are they still able to store them all inside the OMSF or will 1 or 2 be stored outside?

My daughter has a pet rat that I was playing with when I watched that video. Whiski would agree....

Elizabeth Clarke just posted to the Facebook group.

Quote: Next week, the testing (of propulsion and brakes) will require that the trains (six here now) be loaded with sand bags to simulate passenger loads.

Was it a breakdown or tow for illegal parking?

There's a cop car behind the tow and I didn't see any driver standing around so I assume a tow for parking on the tracks.

Also, they probably wouldn't need a flat bed for that type of car.

Depends on the transmission. I know on my smart cdi with its automated manual gearbox, it must be flatbed towed. Towing it wheels-down will destroy the gearbox.

(Not that any company towing for illegal parking with no driver present would care about such a technicality Tongue)
