Hey, I heard that Oprah is ending her talk show and going back to being a museum exhibit in Green Bay. But I might be confused!

I may have to rescind my earlier comments and add NRM back on my vacation plans!

Speaking of things ending, I was very dissapointed in the new movie "2102"...

I was hoping to see shots of Reading Rambles, her trips with Steam Tours out of Ohio, those gorgeous runs on the Pittsburg (no h) & Shawmut, and of course the disastrous doubleheader around Horseshoe Curve with 4070...

The film was about disasters all right, but nary a 4-8-4 was in sight. Instead it was some special effect flick about the world ending. I think maybe they ran the wrong movie.

As it happens I was subbing for my assistant last night running an Academy & guilds screening of "Public Enemies" and I enjoyed seeing 261 rolling into CUS near the end of Reel 3.

So finally the truth is out...Oprah and the 261 are the same person. No, it's true... Have you ever seen them together? I didn't think so...

Cheers, Dave

Bob -

The movie you walked into was "2012", not 2102! You wandered into the wrong movie! So keep looking. I hear that the feature "2102" is coming to a movie theater near you. I think that I heard the realease date is sometime in 2012. Oh wait.......!

So a Mountain, a Pacific, and a Northern chug into a roundhouse........

Good point. They're both about the same size!
