Tracy Bone General What year did railroads start using ditch lights? I thought it was 1996. 12/31/2006 2:58:11 PM
Pat Scott General You may be thinking of when they were mandated. I recall seeing quite a few in 1991, and there were probably more before that. 12/31/2006 3:23:15 PM
Pat Scott General Cool, a shot from Exchange Avenue, and you survived to tell about it. I always figured the name of that street was appropriate, as in exchange of gunfire, exchanging money for prostitution, drugs, or any of the other fine things that go on in that wonderful neighborhood. 12/31/2006 3:25:47 PM
Mike Kirsch General I really don't know Tracy, I thought it was earlier than 1996 though. 12/31/2006 3:38:33 PM
Mike Kirsch General Pat, I was young then and I wasn't thinking. Have you noticed that I haven't posted any photos since this date at that location. U CRAZY MAN!!!! :) 12/31/2006 3:42:05 PM
