I was 99% sure that you did. Just didn't know if you have brain farts like I do at my old age.. :) ... ____________________________________________________ ...
Hey.. I'm the champion of brain farts. Thought about getting a patent on them. There was talk on the radio today that Charlotte wants to relocate the North...

Jeff, do you know if this pig yard will be strictly NS? I thought I read that this may be a shared facility with CSX. It has been a short time since I have...
