Spectacular news! Just why did it have to come now and not when I was living in Tennessee? Date: 08/27/14 20:09 Re: Southern 4501's Debut is.... Author: unseenthings Congrats to the hard word at TVRM, they are cutting it a bit close. Too bad all it will do is putter back and forth on the local.

Or if NS hadn't canned Cleveland. It has nothing to do with happiness, it's about what it worth a 18th round trip and what isn't. Hopefully there will be a double header to Summerville that is. Looking forward to the first video.

So just be glad that they are doing it this way. You don't take one straight out of rebuild and turn one loose on the main!!! |
