Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles got better tonight, and that was already a moderately-high bar.  This show is setting up a lot of questions.

Saw an interesting series of photos on railpictures.net this morning - on Sunday, a Chinese-built steam locomotive was delivered to the RJ Corman yard here in town.  It's going to be used for excursions and special trains between here and Louisville, with the Ryder Cup being targeted as the inaugural run dates.  Holy cow.  Live steam operations based out of my hometown.  This is awesome.

More good news - Green Ronin is eliminating the license fees for True20 in May.

I saw the J alongside the highway while on a trip during my last year of high school. It was doing about 70 mph, and looked just wonderful.

There's a state park near my aunt's house that has a Chesapeake and Ohio Kanawha-class 2-8-4 on static display. It's one of the last steam locomotives the C&O built, and it's a brute. I saw one of it's big brothers at the Henry Ford Museum a few years ago: an Allegheny-class 2-6-6-6. With the tender, just over 100' long, and fully fueled and watered, they weigh 1.2 million pounds. Huge.
