Very interesting and some great and unusual loads shown in just the first few minutes. Check out the cars in a gondola.

Cool video. Amazing that those cars stacked in the gondolas were not dinged up.

That was a cool video. I tried to get a job on the railroad in my younger days, but when I showed up to fill out an application there was a line a block long.

When I was discharged I had 3 choices, go back and claim my old job. Get hired through a friend to work for Union Pacific, or use the clout I had to become a Deputy Sheriff for Kankakee County. The job I took, I met my wife and 57 years later we still talk about how we met and it was through the job I took. I will say after a year and half after getting married, I used the GI bill to go to college and gave the job up.

Fascinating. If some catastrophic event took down the Internet and/or computers, our society would have a very hard time. These manual processes and the art of designing them are a thing of the distant past.

The only thing I get out of FaceBook is being in contact with people I thought I would never see again. A while back I left FB for over a year. When I did come back, I didn't say anything right away, but I did comment on a friends post which freaked her out because no one knew why I was gone.

I don’t like FB but stay on to keep in touch with friends.

Count me in that group too Deny and Country Joe. I use it to catch up on children and grandchildren for things they don't mention to me.
