Western Railroad Discussion > Diablo Canyon in... What Scale Would This Be?Date: 09/16/20 07:39 Diablo Canyon in... What Scale Would This Be? Author: BoilingMan A friend asked me to meet him in Albuquerque a couple days ago and help him fly his Cessna back to California. I grabbed this photo of the ATSF trestle west of Winslow as we went by.

Unless you're a dedicated "Flat Earther". Science means nothing to them. Date: 09/16/20 08:38 Re: Diablo Canyon in... What Scale Would This Be? Author: SPDRGWfan PHall Wrote:

Science > means nothing to them. I think those flat earthers are just trolls who like to, as the Brit's say, take the Mickey out of the rest of the world. It seem unfathomable in the modern world that people would be that dumb; talk about blind faith. or mental illness. Date: 09/16/20 08:54 Re: Diablo Canyon in... What Scale Would This Be? Author: goneon66 i'll bet the first wagon train w/b that hit that canyon was a little miffed.

The EB got there first, but the timing was still off a bit (I was hoping to catch the power closer to the bridge). The plane wasn't at it's weight limit, but it wasn't light either (plus we'd topped the tanks in Winslow) and we were in rather thin hot air. So the airplane wasn't at it's most nimble- so we called this good, and continued West. SR Date: 09/17/20 04:37 Re: Diablo Canyon in... What Scale Would This Be? Author: masterphots callum_out Wrote:
