Aw, to heck with this! I wasn't around in '47 and neither were you. Hand me a beer! 
I like your attitude, Farmer Bill.

Fellow Tracker Bill, you know where to find me.

Oh, but I was; I don't know whether that's good or bad.
But since I got to see and do the things I did, I think that, on the whole, it's good . . .
Makes me an old f**t now, though.

Gilly's got 'em right. I ain't gonna be there to collect, anyhow . . .
EdKing
Stay with me Edward! I'm not going to be there either. This is just fun. Best I could hope for is one of my buddies who is going would bring the beer back to me.
Gilly

CB&W was also known as the Burlington Route, their slogan was Everywhere West.
L&N The Family Lines System

Well played everyone. I really enjoyed this thread.
Gilly - they wasn't no Louisville, Chattanooga and St. Louis. Hit were the Nashville, C&StL. Hit were the fust Dixie Line.
One guy told me years ago that CB&Q stood for Chicago, Baltimore and Cuba (Qba?).
The L&N (Long and Nasty) din't get to be in the Family Way until the *** (Atlantic Seaboard System) took it over in the ought-70s. Then it all got to be part of the CSX (Crash, Smash Xplode).
EdKing, who woke up wryly this morning . . . (which beats not waking up at all)
I was thinking Chicago, Burlington and Quincy for CB&Q.
It's not Louisville, you're right. I meant to say Nashville, Chattanooga and St Louis. Cranial failure on my part.
Gilly
Great Game. Final results posted. Let me know if I screwed it up at all but as I see it:
Gilly -12
Yardmaster-11
Ed King- 9
Southernmike - 2
Freddoc-1
Overland Flyer - 1
Please double check the answer to 32. Edward and I were having a discussion about it earlier today. My initial response was Louisville Chattanooga and St Louis. I believe the correct answer may be Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis. It was only after Edward's prompting did I reexamine my original answer. If my second answer is correct, 1/2 credit needs to go to Edward.
If there's a beer involved with my name on it at York I would like for it to go to Farmer Bill, with my complements.
Gilly
Louisville, Chattanooga & St. Louis is the answer listed in the magazine. Thanks guys for playing. Farmerbill knows where to find me. We are both national capital trackers and he knows where my table is in the blue hall but of course I would not have the beer in the hall perse.
That's why they have doors on either end of the halls.
Fun game. Enjoy the beer, Bill. Catch you at Thursday at Fridays in October! BTW, have you met the new Pope yet?
