Hahaha! Trust me Drew, you don't want to be 24! It's a world full of UP and BNSF Gevos, few shortlines, an influx of gensets and photography mostly ruined by the computer. I'd gladly trade places with you to have seen and experienced all that you have! Also, sometimes I think your memory is better than mine.
