More music and fun with Bing.

Our long national model railroad nightmare is over, well actually, it's more like just calmed down enough that things can finally start going back to normal. More importantly our friend John Sacerdote can get back to doing what John does best… Running the Annual Amherst-Springfield-Big E, fourteen building on 200 acres annual train show. Once again, the annual pilgrimage to West Springfield, Mass. can take place. Friendships can be renewed, new products can be announced, hot dogs can be consumed, and all will be right with the world. Even our very own “Mr. Fitness” (Chris Adams) will be there to make sure you eat right and lead us in a series purchasing exercises. So grab yourself a big bowl of shredded blue boxes, a tall cool glass of warm two-year-old soda and enjoy!!

When a horrific accident left railroad signalman James Wide without the use of his legs, he was desperate to maintain his livelihood -- an effort that may well have been futile were it not for a chance encounter with a highly intelligent baboon named Jack. Jack began by assisting James with simple tasks, and gradually became competent enough do James Wide's job for him. In today's episode, the guys explore the strange circumstances that led to Signalman Jack becoming an actual railroad employee.

Who knew the path to freedom was south rather than north? In this episode we uncover how slaves in Texas participated in the Underground Railroad. This was a very eye opening subject for us and one that we believe is worth a listen. Hope you enjoy!

Railroads not only changed America's landscape, but also created the first big business. Why Pan Am flight attendants were more than just a pretty face. How artificial intelligence is helping to track down lead water pipes. And why scientists decided to strap 3D glasses on cuttlefish.

BONUS EDITION: Cuomo is back! After traveling to Italy to cover the G20, Chris is back in the New York groove and ready to get after it!In today's episode, a look at what is in the massive bipartisan infrastructure bill that the House passed late Friday, and some caution from Chris to go slow on analyzing Build Back Better, as well as a warning to Democrats  in the form of some alliteration: Price tag politics present a paradox. Chris also takes a moment to remind us not to forget the need for accountability when it comes to our ingrained social media platforms.And another thing: Chris' take on the Packer's star quarterback Aaron Rodgers not being straight on whether he'd been vaccinated.

On the night of August 29th, 1997, the lives of University of Kentucky college students, Holly Dunn, and her boyfriend, Chris Maier were changed forever.  Holly Dunn would be the sole survivor of the infamous serial killer, Angel Maturino Resendiz.

"Planned obsolescence" is not just an economic term, it is a way of life for some companies. It is the practice of deliberately making a sold item frail or of limited use until it is unfashionable; this forces the consumer to replace it sooner than they would otherwise. Analysts tell us that it is best deployed by oligopolies to increase their sales volume. Completely unrelatedly, we talk about Games Workshop in the news.Games Played Last Week:01:26 -Mindbug (Skaff Elias, Richard Garfield, Marvin Hegen, & Christian Kudahl, Nerdlab Games, 2021)03:36 -Ticket to Ride: Germany (Alan R.

How many episodes will it take to interview what many say is one of the most influential model railroaders of all time. Here at the ‘ole AML headquarters we fired up our IBM 5150 trying to come up with a reasonable number and decided this could be part three of a forty-seven-part Tony Koester Trilogy. Tony had lots of stories to share about his travels with Jim Boyd whom he worked alongside during his days at Railroad Model Craftsman. We're also joined by our very own magazine editor extraordinaire, Tony Cook who plans to someday release a book of Jim Boyd's night photography. It's a great episode filled with lots of interesting, fun and adventurous anecdotes from years past. So, get comfortable in your favorite pjs and enjoy!!  

Happy Halloween!  Two great Halloween, Holiday themed episodes from 70 years ago this week!

In 1895, the Supreme Court affirmed a contempt conviction against Eugene Debs, the leader of a nationwide strike by railroad workers. The conviction arose from a federal-court injunction, obtained by federal prosecutors to prevent private actors from infringing on activity protected by the U.S. Constitution. Both the United States and the State of Texas rely on that opinion, In re Debs, in the ongoing litigation about the constitutionality of the new Texas abortion statute. The strength of the analogy between the Texas case and Debs  will form an important part of the opinion that the Supreme Court ultimately reaches about that law.

The Biden Administration is reportedly flying migrant children to New York from Texas in an effort to discreetly resettle them across the region. According to online flight data, 2,000 migrants who entered the U.S. illegally have been flown to New York since August. Why has the Biden Administration not shared this information publicly? Does the secrecy and Administration's tactics raise concerns?

With the return of snow to the mountains comes the return of another Colorado winter tradition: gridlocked traffic on I-70, as weekend warriors make their way to ski areas in the high country. But how much of that gridlock is composed of people driving solo? Colorado Sun outdoors reporter Jason Blevins found some enterprising Coloradans are hoping to boost the practice of carpooling to the slopes with a slate of new apps. But getting them up and rolling has proved to be a bumpy ride.  For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com.

When it comes to the world of model railroading our next guest literally needs no introduction after decades in the hobby, literally hundreds of articles, different magazines edited under his watchful eye, a monthly column read by tens of thousands, Tony Koester is simply an icon in the hobby. An alumnus of Purdue University, co-founder of the Nickel Plate Historical Society and some would say along with his good friend Allen McClelland, he popularized the idea of proto-freelancing. This is part one of a five-part series in which Tony graciously takes the time to answer our questions, tell great stories and give us his “Trains of Thought.” Enjoy !!
