I do have the N.Y. Jets train but it has derailed every season, sometimes at the beginning, midway or at the end but has only made it around the layout successfully once in 49 years!
The other green team in my area is riding high. Go Eagles! Nice train.

Do you mean Nick Foles? He is not Carson Wentz, but he is a Texas Eagle (one of four on the current roster).
What, me worry?
The MoPac, Texas and Pacific, PRR or Amtrak versions.
Yes, for 18 months in the late 40's the train which became known as the PENN TEXAS was called the TX EAGLE! Ran NYP to STL.
Sunday the Texas Eagle (Nick Foles) will battle the Texas Viking (Case Keenum) for the NFC championship. Slap a Lone Star on that train and call it the Texas Special!
What, me worry?
May the Eagles Train celebrate victory this evening during their last stop in Philadelphia this season and travel safely to its final destination in Minneapolis, Minnesota, February 4, 2018.
FLY EAGLES FLY, ON THE ROAD TO VICTORY!!! GO E A G L E S
Go Eagles!
Hear, hear! 
Mitch
I expect a total derailment here!
(looks) The US Bank Stadium is a very nice facility! I'm sure the Iggles will enjoy playing there!

After that last Win, it looks like the Vikings year.

AFC game is about to start. Three hours to go. The game is all the local news has wanted to talk about this last week. The grape sodas are chilled. 41 years is long enough. I'd prefer a little less drama than last week. Still have it on the DVR.
OK Lord, we need one for the gipper Carson Wentz. PPPPPLLLLAAAAEEEESSSSEEEE! 
Thank you Lord! may I have some more PPPLLLLAAASSSSEEEEEE! just one more this year.

Just how many consecutive Hail Mary games can a team count on? Is it reasonable to expect two miracles in a row?
Not an "Iggles Fan" But a fan of the NFC East - Go Eagles, "Git 'Er Done"!
THE VIKINGS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!
'Course, they'll be watching from the stands, but... 
Mitch
It's Super Foles in the Super Bowl!
Look out Pats, the E-A-G-L-E-S train of destiny is steaming to its final stop - Superbowl 52.
Happiness to everyone!!!
Unbelievable game. Did everybody hear the train whistle after one of Ajayi’s long runs?
Well, I don't consider myself a sports fan, but I caught some of the game this evening. The supposed underdogs smashed the supposed overdoes. Way to go Eagles. My son-in-law, who was at the game must be riding high about now.
E A G L E S Super bowl here we come. Fly Eagles Fly!
Here's a Proclamation to the E-A-G-L-E-S from the King of Lite at Budweiser !!!
VIEW & ENJOY!

Not the first time I've been wrong! A bigger foe yet ahead! Enjoy the party Eagles fans.

Thank you, Jeff T
When the Eagles train gets to Minneapolis the bridge will be out and the train will careen off the rails and plunge into the ravine below.
Don't get me wrong. I always root against the Evil Empire which is probably why I'm pretty sure of the result. Bad Boy Billy Belichick will have his army whipped up into a killing frenzy after the close call with the Jags.
GO EAGLES!! (for all the good it will do)
Pete
The Eagles are a team of destiny this year, they even have the Fox sportscaster rooting for them, Belichick should be worried, he has good reasons to.
Go Eagles! Dilly Dilly Philly Philly! The year of the Underdogs, Roff Roff bow wow.
Travel with Class on Kraftairways!
The match is set. You all know who I am for but I want to say well done to Eagles fans. They played a great game. Having grown up in the Philadelphia area, I am very happy for Eagles fans.
Marty, I thought maybe you would show up here with the Patriots train 🚂. Maybe they didn’t make one? I have to spend some time now preparing the Eagles train for the trip west. We need them to arrive well rested and ready to go. It should be a good game!
This will be the second year in a row a raptor bird will be plucked in the non-Big Game!

Pete, have some positivity. IMO, the Eagles train journey is reminiscent of the Polar Express. Even if it should careen off track during a portion of the Superbowl game, do not fear that it will plunge into the ravine below. Just as the Polar Express also left its tracks venturing dangerously onto the ice, it nevertheless got back on track for a successful journey and so will the Eagles. We just have to B-E-L-I-E-V-E !
Hoping it will be a great game and regardless of who wins, may the players on both teams emerge free of injuries at the end of the game.
The train has left the station for Minnesota. With some luck it will be there in 10 days. Stay tuned for updates.
The Eagles train will keep "taking the green"...and the other train will be "stopping for the red" all along the way because they're always trailing...
Train Nut, they always win. GHD, try 30-4128-1. It will be a great one. As long at Steelers are out thanks to poor coaching I am very happy a Pennsylvania team is in the big game. The Eagles are the real deal with a great staff.
Marty knows that I have a few comments to make here. The other green team is in the Super Bowl and it is going to be a match up.
P.S. I could always get that Jets train rolling again but it is the machine shop getting another yearly makeover for next season! Maybe one decade from now!

Being a Giants fan i have to ask....you can't be talking about the Patriots....LOL
How many games did the Giants win this year? On a serious note, I have always liked Eli and I got very upset when the media started bashing him. He had nothing to work with and I still feel he is the real deal. He still throws a good ball but needs people who can catch them. I always liked the giants. I am very happy Philly got it done.

The Giants played this year? I must've missed it!! 😂 Although the did beat the Pats in pre season. 😁
I remember that. Hopefully next year for them.

Nice train but it needs some passenger cars for the fans.
I am lucky that they don't have a 49ers train. It saves me some money. The Niners will be competitive next season. Go Niners.
NH Joe
The demand for passenger cars has been heard. Two coaches are in tow presently. I wonder how many will be required by this time next week. Stay tuned!
A man from Philadelphia dies and goes to his just reward – Hell.
After a few weeks Satan comes to see him and sarcastically asked, “Hot enough for you?"
Our friend replies, “Not really, just like a June day in dear old Philly.”
Satan gets upset and turns up both the heat and humidity and waits a couple of weeks.
Satan goes back to visit the Philadelphian and asked, “Hot enough now?’
Our friend replies, “Not really, just like a July day in dear old Philly.”
Satan is no longer upset; he is ****ed, and turns both the heat and humidity as high as it can go.
The people in Hell are lethargic, everyone is moping around as it is very hot and extremely damp.
Satan visits our friend for a third time, and states, not asks, “I know it is hot enough, now!”
Our friend replies, “Not really, just like an August day in dear old Philly.”
Satan is now out of his mind; he cannot get Hell hotter nor more humid. He devises a plan that has not been done for ages...
Satan goes down to the bowls of hell where the heater and humidifier are located and turns then off. While there he see the never used AC unit and turns it on to full blast at the coldest temperature.
By the time Satan gets back to the main level of Hell, everything is iced over, the humid air now contains snow and everyone is freezing except our friend.
He is doing the Mummers’ Strut like he was on Broad Street on a beautiful New Year’s Day.
Satan asked our friend why was he so happy while others are freezing and out friend replies:
“When I was a little boy, my father always said it would be a cold day in Hell before the Eagles won a Super Bowl. The Eagles won the Super Bowl, the Eagles won the Super Bowl...”
