    Looks like the square may still be where it was 70 years ago. Also, turns out there is a Prototype for everything...

    It's only a flush if they are all the same suit livery...

    Now back to your regular scheduled programming...

    Generally, how long are these RHTT turns and what breaks do you get? Have seen some schedules around 12 hours so must crew change somewhere...

    For future reference, paywalls can be sometimes avoided by looking for an archived version of the webpage...

    At least you didn't have to walk to the nearest box... Question for anyone (since Jim is hopefully enjoying his break). When transiting the Rail grinders, do any special actions need to be taken beforehand? eg. disengage the grinder's traction motors or just couple up, break test and away? Also is max speed in transit 60mph or less? TIA

    "Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true." - Homer (Simpson) On a more serious note, for many years now political leaders have been using 'Science' to provide cover for what are in fact value/moral judgements in a variety of areas of public debate. Science and Scientists cannot and must not bare this burden. Best wishes for the New Year to all and may this thread continue as long as is necessary...

    is it claiming to be anchored for tax purposes?.... Originally built for Tom Perkins, it was then sold a Greek female billionaire so looks like she probably still owns it.
