Grabbed some peanuts for a snack and 844.
Yup, me too!
Total purchases at York - $4014.
Back in 1978 I formed Hopewell Productions, the company that I founded which produced the Big Steam videos which we sell in the OGR Web Store.
The first video I produced was about Reading 4-8-4 No. 2101 on the Chessie Steam Special. The first business expense I had for this company was for business cards.
The bill?
$21.01.
New home address 2323 (Lionel operating freight station)
Santa Claus brought me my first Lionel set, with the 2055 steamer. A month later, my family and I got on the LIRR departing Greenport at 6 am to go to NYC for an after-Xmas shopping and tourist trip. The LIRR coach was #2055. I bought a 6464-300 box car with Xmas money. A Broadway (I think) bus that we took to Radio City from Herald Square was number 6464. I remember these weird number things after 60 years. Can't explain it.
Bought my first brand new car on a 6-11.
I should be so lucky.... I can't even hit the lotto
House number 464. But, I have ESPN anyway, so, it doesn't surprise me.
Big Jim, what does the sports network have to do with serendipitous train numbers?

It doesn't.
That is ESP to the Nth degree.

I am a Lutheran pastor. When our Worship & Music Committee chooses hymns, I suggest numbers such as 765, 31 [Strasburg's 7312], 60 [Black River & Western 2-8-0], 362 [Lionel Barrel Loader], 364 [Lionel Lumber Loader] , 482 [4-8-2], and so on. I get a kick out of seeing them in our Sunday bulletins.
Hotel room numbers - 260, 1012 (Bing tender number), 1110, and 773. The funny thing about the 773 number was I checked in late and was very tired. All during the ride in the elevator and the walk down the hall I kept thinking the number was somehow significant but it wasn't until I entered the room that its Hudson connection dawned on me.
I received a Lionel 627 Lehigh Valley red 44 ton switcher for my birthday long ago.......Oh, yeah....my birthday is June 27.
As a cashier any time I ring someone up and the total or change is a locomotive number I say the locomotives name "and your change is Union Pacific $8.44" or " that's gonna be nickel plate $7.67 please"
most customers don't notice but some have caught it and laughed
Glancing at a digital clock readout... it's 6:32 in the morning...
Hm... that was the last Frisco GP7 purchased.
Few days later, notice it's 6:14...
That one (Frisco GP7) survived in its original black w/yellow stripes right up to the end.
And so it goes.
It's a sickness,
Well I can't forget this phone number ***-***-2666
