Interesting approach ideas, thanks. I will keep them in mind.

But surely there must be a specific daily schedule? Commercial and industrial railways are (supposedly) tightly regulated and scheduled. Someone must have a document detailing info such as "Engine SFPK-166498 inbound from Norfolk to arrive between 14:22-14:27 EST, etc". I wouldn't be surprised if the AAR required all trains to have GPS.

Considering that all air traffic info is available in real time (via "air traffic" app), perhaps that same info is available for trains? Granted, the general population doesn't independently use railways the same way a private citizen may own and fly a plane, but I can come up with reasons why it would make sense to make train schedules public. I'll keep digging.

Already upvoted The Boathouse, but I must say, I get irritated every time someone recommends Brenner Pass. I mean, it's fine...it's just not all that compared to what you're gonna shell out, imho.

Lol at Bernie still kicking it around Cap Ale. She was one of the inaugural crew w me way back in 2002 or so when they first opened downtown. I should’ve known when I showed up for training and it was actually “help us paint the whole restaurant for minimum wage and hot dogs” to just keep walking. Matt was such a tool.

I've lived in Virginia most of my life and the weather here is nothing compared to Indiana's. A severe thunderstorm and tornado warning here is just a regular afternoon storm there. The thunderstorms in Indiana scared the living shit out of me. Winters there are absolutely brutal and seem to go on forever. Virginia is positively placid compared to the midwest.
