CSX rolling through South Cackalacky

Nice pictures!  

South Cackalackey.  I like it.  Is there a North Cackalackey?  If there isn't, there should be.  I'd be in for an East and a West Cackalackey as well.  I'm thinking you can never have too many Cackalackeys.  It's catchier than Peoria.

I looked it up.  I like it too.  I'll give Deuce the honor of explaining. 

Nice CSX units by the way!!

This guy stopped before the road crossing so I couldn't get a better shot of him.

3441 has the new logo, though it's not fully visible.

There is indeed a North Cackalackey, just above South Cackalackey ... so it's a bit colder there in the winter. I've lived in Peoria, and if it'll play in Peoria, it'll play in the Cackalackey's too.

My favoritest hot sauce of all time is called Cackalacky (missing that last "e", which means either they spelled it incorrectly, or I did*, or it can be spelled either way). It's got some zing to it, and the Cheerwine flavored ones are pretty nice too.

*I may live here, but obviously I need to spell the slang better. Corrected the topic title.

Here is another pair of engines. Had to look up the meaning of the lightning bolt. Stands for AC traction (if I understood correctly).

Sorry for the off topic reply, but weren't you looking for a sound module, Duece?  I just saw this come up in the for sale section, and I thought you were looking for something similar before: https://ogrforum.com/...und-sets-available-1

Thanks. I had been, but I found a suitable workaround for the time being. Thanks for remembering though!

Cackalacky it is.  I can work with that.

There once was a lass from Cackalacky

You couldn't help but notice she was stacky

When she wore a tight sweater

Even the blind men could see better

And not one found her choice of wardrobe tacky

Keep the camera wound and the shutter down.  Cheers.

I see no mention of a South Cackalackey near the Florence SC yards, is this a local neighborhood nearby?

Cackalackey is the sound a train makes going over a diamond crossing.

Deuce is holding out on us!  LOL  I learned where SC and NC are from my brother who used to live nearby.  I want Deuce to have the honor!

 Cackalackey or Cracalote is on the starbucks menu, on the LA starbucks menu really it is right under BangBangalote.

Cackalacky is just slang for Carolina. It's - supposedly - a relatively recent addition to the English lexicon, though it really depends on who you ask. It's true origins ... remain a mystery. But it's fun to say.

Agreed.  And a natural for a limerick.

A railroad fan from Cackalacky

Wanted to hear the trains go clickety clackety

On to the tracks went his ear

When the train was too near

And his brains ended up all kersplackety

Ok, I'm done.  I promise.

You had everyone guessing for quite a while Deuce!    We are native Western Pennsylvanians, but my brother just took his pension from the Kershaw County Schools last spring.  He filled me in.  When I worked in Virginia from the mid '70s to early '90s, folks would speak of North Carolina as just 'Carolina'.  I don't recall hearing anyone use 'Cacklacky' back then, though I worked with some native Carolinians.  

I take it as occasionally I hear Western Pennsylvanians refer to our commonwealth as Pennsyltucky.  

 John P Jr,

   Did you say Star Bucks, this is DD country here in Pa sir, us Veterans don't go near Star Bucks no matter what name they put on the coffee.

William, love your Limerick;

'There once was a maiden from Chichester

Whose beauty made Saints in their niches stir

One morning at Matins, her breasts in rose satins

Made the Bishop of Chichester britches stir.'
