Eastern Railroad Discussion > Any updates on PUCT to LAL?

Waiting to see the PUCT at LAL on her way to TPA, any updates and/or ETA?

It bypassed ADA at the CIA via BYOB until finally seeing CYA.

Bottom line: Speaka da English!

Decode:
PUCT- Purple Unit Circus Train, just like BUCT or RUCT.
LAL- Lakeland, Florida, a big city in Central Florida.
TPA- Tampa, Florida, another big city West of Lakeland by the water.
ETA- Estimated Time of Arrival

In other words, I am in Lakeland, Florida waiting for the circus train. Where is she?

PUCT isn't official anything, and when I read LAL, I thought it might mean "Livonia Avon & Lakeville" reporting mark.

Write jargon, and only people who know the jargon will understand you. Is a few more keystrokes for clarity that much of a challenge? Talk about illiterate.

I have been involved in this hobby for about 60 years,
have acquired much knowledge, but will be the first to
admit that I'm still learning. To infer that some folks
who don't have your vast knowledge are "illiterate" is ...
well I better stop there.

I went by Baldwin yard at 1 PM, it was in the yard stopped, I had to continue going, Baldwin radio feed is down , Maybe ANDREW CAN UPDATE
