Tune in to find out what's got Phil so worked up...

If you've been around trains for any length of time, you've heard someone mention an "SD45-2" or maybe an "AC60" or even a GG1. If you don't understand all of that, it's ok, we're going to give you some insight into how what locomotive designations mean and how you can get an idea of what you're hearing when you're out on the main line.

Our clapback to Wendover Productions' YouTube Video "The One Tiny Law That Keeps Amtrak Terrible," sure did stir up a hornet's nest! So, Phil responds to viewer comments on his take and discusses everything from Amtrak's truncated Adirondack to why so many people don't understand the purpose of the railroad.

As always, Stop, Look, and Listen!

For our 50th Episode, we take a look back at one of Phil's favorite magazines: The April, 1980 issue of Trains Magazine. This includes the UP-MP-WP merger, paying for Penn Central, Amtrak's Hlltopper and Floridian, and diesel-electric locomotive depreciation! As always, thanks to all of our fellow #RobberBarons out there, and as always, Stop, Look, & Listen! _______________________ Show Bibliography: 1. Trains Magazine. April 1980.
