I'm a Train Geek

Coming up on July 24th, I'm taking a little vacation to Ely, Nevada to go to a historical railroad and museum. Yeah, I'm a train geek. The cool part of this little trip is the opportunity to drive a real train! I'm signed up to drive one of these diesel engines on their mainline.


You know that I'll take geeky pictures for this damn blog...

Clark,

Are you HO, N, O, Z or what scale?

I'm HO (in more ways than one...get it? I'm a ho.)

Yeah. Lame.

Todd,

I am not a HO, but I do have an office at the Union Pacific's freight terminal in Salt Lake off of Beck street and one at the auto facility in Clearfield. Also, one in Phoenix and Denver.

I am a train freak for different reasons. They help keep me employee'd.

I have I beleive a HO APL Stack railcar with 10 individual container's loaded. It is in a case so I never touch it. Would it work on your train?

Wow! Mom Scholte works for the railroad. Sweet. And Clark is a train geek. And Zack ... well, he's just a geek.

I have an HO scale set in the crawlspace of my house. It's geeky, but it keeps me busy on rainy days.

Drew,

I always knew you were a bad ass! I have a Challenger steam engine that makes sound and everything. So...should we have X96 day at the Heber Valley Historic Railroad? Artie Fufkin is a train geek, too.

Trains rule! I got a bedazzler and studded my Thomas the Tank Engine (rhinestones). I wear a train vest when I sleep.
