For what it's worth, the above post by "Robl" was
not by me, though I post here from time to time.

Is there someone else here on the BB with the last
name Robl? Just curious.

It's an unusual enough name that I take note of it
whenever it shows up anywhere. And almost all the
other people with that same family name have had
at least some interest in railroads. I wonder if
there is a "railfan gene" that goes in the family.

Also, many of the others with the same last name
that I have encountered -- primarily through the
internet -- may well be very distant relatives, as
they trace their ancestry back to an area on the
Austria-German border where my father's ancestors
came from.
