Drew-

My post was not directed at you in anyway, although it was possibly triggered by some of the commentary below of which you were a part. My comments were triggered more by the general nastiness on here by a couple of losers who either need to get a life, get laid, or some combination thereof and also my personal frustration with how boring and single minded Trains magazine has become in the last two years or so.

I am also kinda fed up with the fact that more and more people are @#$%& about this hobby on a daily basis, seem to act like they know more than others and/or want to compete with who takes the best shots instead of just enjoying the dam thing. I guess I needed an outlet but rather than criticize individuals, I wanted to just give everyone a reality check as to what younger fans are interested in.

My apologies if you thought you were the source of my post/I was disagreeing with you, as I personally know nothing about the NHRS, the trips discussed below, etc.
