DESIGNING A QUIZ: There has to be a way to design one of those quizzes around the theme "if your weblog were a railroad, which one would it be?" I have a couple of data points already. Cold Spring Shops has to be the Boston and Maine. (why?) Because I'm the Superintendent and I say so. Eject! Eject! Eject! has to be the Chicago Great Western. (why?) The Chicago Great Western had the habit of letting the yard fill, arranging the cars into something resembling station order in one huge train, sending it out to work all stations, and letting the yard fill before the next train was ordered. (There is a new CGW train style post over there that I do wish to address.)
