The Atlantic and Southern Build, Part 1

[tct855]

KPII,

You are playing with numbers and words.

If the price was $26.00 for 3, then they paid roughly $8.67 each for the room. Actually, two of them only paid $8.66. The dishonest desk clerk kept $4.00. Thanks to the honest Judge, he returned $3.00, $1.00 to each A&S employee making the room payment $9.67 for one and $9.66 for two. The clerk's $1.00 (tip, actually .99 cents) brings the total to $30.00.

There is no missing money.

KPII,
          Ha.  you are exactly right!  I guess now everyone knows you're a very smart man.  KPI...

I'm not really worried about the not really missing money.  I'm more concerned about why Thom felt it necessary to state that the clerk wore khaki pants.  I'm glad the clerk wore pants...but why did we need to know that? 

Jerry,
           Ha.  Sorry, but you got misdirected with the pants.  Sometimes wearing Khaki Pants is the focus!  Tom has the inside story on the pants. Ha.  Thanx Thom...

According to my USMC drill instructors in OCS, the desk clerk wore trousers if he was male and pants if she was female.
In the interest of this being a G rated site, I'll stop there with the explanation. You'll just have to trust me on this one.

Money owed or missing, pants vs. trousers.....this all too confusing at this time of the morning.

Hi all,

Raymo (not wearing Khaki Pants) is fishing off the trestle at Suwannee River Drawbridge and the Judge & ACL 1504 come out of Delwins just down the tracks by Lagoon and see Engineer Frank Baker (also not wearing Kahki Pants) driving his Erie S-4 class 2-8-4 Berkshire headed towards fisherman (Raymo).

ACL 1504 (KPII) says to the Judge who does wear Khaki Pants (just not today) here we go again!  The Judge (not wearing Khaki Pants today) replies, I wonder if the fisherman (Raymo) see's Frank's train coming at him? 

Well wouldn't you know the fisherman (Raymo) who is fishing 1/3 off from one side of the trestle sees the train coming towards him. 

Raymo (the fisherman) knows if he runs towards Frank's train (Erie S-4 class 2-8-4 Berkshire), he can get off the trestle, before the train passes. 

The fisherman (Raymo) Also knows if he runs away from Frank's train (Erie S-4 class 2-8-4 Berkshire), he can get off the trestle, Just before the train passes.

My Question is:

How much faster must Raymo run than Frank's train is traveling past the Judge & ACL 1504 just coming out of Delwins?

The AS railroad is such a complicated job?  T...

Good save Tom.

Thank you kind sir.

Jerry,

The Khaki Pants story is a take off from the State Farm Commercial. You know the guy is on the phone and the nosey wife comes down and says who are you talking to.

Tom,
Your track now has a really nice flow to it.  I'm guessing this will become a favorite spot for railfans.

Jerry,

This repair was long overdue. It does flow better and the trains love it.

The has already been a video made on the curve. More on that later.

I do trust you on that but in today's Army, anything can be worn.

Okay, if Raymo is 1/3 of the way on the trestle it means he is 2/3 from the other end.

If the train is coming at him from the 1/3 end, he only has to run that distance to get off the trestle. However, if the train is coming at him from the 2/3 end of the trestle, he would have to run twice as fast on the 2/3 section of the trestle to get off prior to the trains arrival.

[Raymo]

First off, Raymo tries to make himself aware of his surroundings and stays off of active railroad trestles. Second, Raymo's days of running are over, my body can't handle it anymore. That being said I work around water almost every day, unless there's a gator in that water, I'm getting wet!

.....or he can just jump off the bridge, rather than take a chance tripping in front of the loco and take his chances with the gators.

Raymo,

I'm with you. I just pray the water will be deep enough.

Better to be gator meat than minced meat.

Okay, back to the normal programming.
