Terry Dodge Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Oh my! Whatever should I do? If any Chicago folk plan to make the trip up, don't ride the rails. (that should take care of any problems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim S. Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 that's an old map, the cnw is now the up rr and the ccp is the cn rr That's the first thing I noticed on this map, but also remember the Illinois Central running that ex CC&P. The Death Star logo of the IC can still be found now and again on that line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodmanii Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I might be weird but the first thing I noticed was the pertinent info like the river and F.P.'s. Guess I don't use the rails too much. Actually I've never been on a train. Rode a trolley once from San Diego to Tijuana. I don't remember much except I almost missed my flight to Ft. Leonard, MS later that night. That was 15yrs ago and I still can't get the taste of tequila out of my mouth. Marines and Tijuana don't go well together!

jude Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 First thing I noticed was that the # 13 is smack dab on my house. Actually, that's the second thing. The first was something about biscuits and gravy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 First thing I noticed was that the # 13 is smack dab on my house. .....and that would explain your bad luck. (kind of thinking I'll never post a map picture again. Jeez!) Tim - When I was in the USMC and stationed in 29 Palms, we were banned from going to Tijuana. Once in Florida I poured tequila on a bowl of cornflakes because I didn't have any milk. Breakfast of champions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgoodmanii Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks Terry.....now I have to go puke! Our battalion got band from going after I was in for a couple years. Too many incidents. We got tired of paying off the crooked police down there anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dodge Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Welcome to the ISA Jim. I'll mark you down as attending. Not sure if you know how we are up here in the northwest region but I would like to strongly suggest that you don't bring your dog along with you. Just sayin', dude. HA!
