I’m the Ghost of Christmas Past!
Last night, I found this nifty video of Nickel Plate 2-8-4 engine 765 being broken in after a complete rebuild.
Engine 765 is owned and operated by the Ft. Wayne Railroad Historical Society, and also happens to be the engine that’s shown in my blog header now.
Addendum: I also found out today that during this last rebuild, 765’s drive wheels were repaired right here in Chattanooga at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum.
You've stumbled upon my mixed bag of ramblings about economics, politics, news, human stupidity, programming, and geeky stuff in general ... all from the perspective of somebody who scored as a 100% libertarian on the Nolan Chart.
I'm a Chattanooga resident, Web developer, Mac user, and amateur photographer who really likes taking pictures at night. I'm a Krystal Lover! I (used to) drink too much Coke, and own a General Electric refrigerator from the late forties. I'm currently servinc as the Chair of the Hamilton County Libertarian Party, President of ChattaMac (our local Mac Users Group), and I organize a PHP Developer's Group locally.
To find out more about the refrigerator (or to chat about anything you read on here), email me at j.clifton@four-eight-four.org.
