Western Railroad Discussion > Big Sandy loves Lovie Smith

I really don't care about either NFL team in Miami this weekend,
but the East Texan in me really wants Lovie Smith to win the big
one. Lovie is from Big Sandy, TX where the SSW crosses the T&P.
Here is Southbound on the Cotton Belt crosses over the T&P on its
way to Tyler, but in 2nd pic pauses at the interchange for a northbound on
the Cotton Belt from Tyler to switch over the the eastbound T&P.
Third pic is the northbound entering the T&P rail mainline, as the
southbound has head south beside this train and entered the SSW main.

Go get 'em, Lovie !

I think it was ABC News a few weekends ago had a feature on Lovie Smith and the opening shot was of a UP train passing through Big Sandy, TX.

Go Bears!

Is this the route of the original Blue Streak?

Yes.

Like'em or not, Union Pacific will always be a 'foreign' road in Texas.

RailNet802, out

Is Lovie Smith a railfan? I wonder if the Cowboys could get him to ditch the Bears and come to Dallas in the near future. If not Lovie Smith, Mike Singletary might be a good pick for Dallas's next head coach. Mr. Singletary is a native Texan and he was a great football player, and he seems to just as good of a man as well. The Bears are okay, but the Cowboys are America's Team. The Cowboys will be back in the Super Bowl before too long.
