> What in the world is the Appoquinimink > Railroad???????? Posted below??????? You got me. "Appoquinimink" is the name of a creek weaving through Odessa, Delaware, and the name of a Friends (Quaker) Meeting House that was a "station on the Underground Railroad. The nearest full-sized railroad is the Delmarva main line in nearby Middletown; the nearest "preservastionists" are either the stash of former Chesapeake RR stuff in Clayton, the Wilmington & Western in Greenbank, or a couple minor projects in New Castle, Del., Sudlersville, Md., etc.; the only steam loco south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal is former Navy/W&W/Queen Anne's 0-6-0T 3, still rusting near Lewes. Methinks this is a model railroader or live-steamer pulling the moral equivalent of Bart Simpson calling Moe's Tavern and asking Moe to page "Ivana Tinkle" or "Seymour Hare"......... lner4472@bcpl.net |

Does anyone know what happened to the Pennsylvania MP-54 commuter car that was owned by Queen Anne's? Is that stored in the area, too? Frank Hicks Preserved North American Electric Railway Cars fullparallel@wideopenwest.com |

> What in the world is the Appoquinimink > Railroad???????? Posted below??????? As if one location with a 4-4-0 and a 4-8-2 was not difficult enough to believe, that fact that the individual used the same e-mail address and different name to post the message after it was the other tipoff. Finally the e-mail appoquinimink2003@yahoo.com does not appear in Yahoo's member services. Someone needs to drop this guy's postings. It could be worst, at least he didn't offer to enlarge a body part you don't have, or show you some pictures or webcam, or transfer $10M from a bank in Africa to your account. "Pssst hey buddy, wanna buy a builder's plate? I've got several of them in my coat here. Or how about this steam lizard on my back? Or this streetcar part under my hat. Hey, it's all legit...." -James Hefner Hebrews 10:20a Surviving World Steam Locomotives james1@pernet.net |

This guy may have a model railroad and be having problems with what real and what's not! He probably couldn't decal the whole name(I know I couldn't!) and that's why he went to A.R.R.! Have a good weekend everyone! Alan Levy alanl759@aol.com |

Nothing. Just the knowledge that you are smarter than many others. appoquinimink2003@yahoo.com |

Nothing except a referral to a remedial English class, because as you can see above *I* caught on to him first. Or at least guessed it was a model railroad first. lner4472@bcpl.net |

A.M. It isn't an English class that I need. It's glasses! I have no problem with taking second place! Do you think we should send the F.R.A. to this Mick fellow's house? Have a good weekend! -Alan Levy Alanl759@aol.com |
