From here I&#8217;ll listen to platform announcements through the open doors just as easily as from outside the train. I should be a good citizen and follow the rules, but even [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kenramsley.com&#038;blog=7967587&#038;post=4685&#038;subd=kenramsley&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Locomotives are big, but then lots of things are [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kenramsley.com&#038;blog=7967587&#038;post=3554&#038;subd=kenramsley&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
