The car is set at the middle of the scale and if the scale doesn't read what it is supposed to read, repairs are in order.

a shot of a Scale Test Car in 1957, a rare part of railroading and not many of these are seen out on the mainlines.

Maybe not from 1957. Here's a history of the Canadian National Railway logo and that logo dates from 1960. https://www.logodesignlove.com/cn-logo-evolution
ReplyDeleteBob, stop being argumentative.
DeleteIn fact, don't read anything more, I'm sure you've meant well, and are a great guy, and don't deserve what the rest of this rant has to say.
Just click away.
I warned you.
I'm having a very fucking bad day, and you don't deserve the rest of this focused rant.
So, why the fuck are you still reading?
The photographer said it was "a product of 1957" and the link http://www.railpictures.ca/?attachment_id=34289 will take you there so you can get all uppity and correct him. I'm sure he's just breathless with anticipation of how many people decide to get correcty on HIM today.
Me, I got fed up with this shit a decade ago
So, knock it the fuck off.
I'm not interested in the minutiae of Canadian logo history.
I post cool shit, you can just move along if you feel I'm not doing it well enough for your standards.
I waste my time looking to find cool shit, then I post the cool shit to share it with anyone else that might think "hey, that's cool"
I DO NOT post cool shit to inspire people to get all correcty because they think I'm wrong, in need of help to get my shit straight, or could use the constructive criticism to make a better blog.
God damn, just look away when the feeling overcomes you to let me know I'm a fucking moron.
I didn't make the shit up I post, the people that did are credited so you can go tell them THEY don't know shit.
Go tell them. I'll wait.
I don't give a shit if it's "maybe not from 1957".
Why? Cause I'm busy over here. Busy trying to be happy and move along through the fucking day without being corrected on shit I copied from some asshole that wasn't aware you'd be along shortly to help him with his fucking mess.
So, just shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Look at the pretty pictures, leave me the fuck alone, I'm not having a good enough day to be corrected on Canadian railway logos.
Not today Bob.
Probably not tomorrow.
I'm going to try and fucking get through the day without snapping at anyone else, and maybe, have a cold liquid satisfying refreshment.
When I'm good and ready to be corrected about stupid shit, that I DIDN'T get wrong, I'll let you, and everyone else know that the 42ndth of April arrived, and let me have all the saved up critisism.
Until then, shhhhhhhhhh
If that won't do, and you're upset that I'm unloading, 1st, realize, I didn't send you a note to settle your problems today. You decided I needed YOUR help instead.
2nd, just find another website that needs your focused attention on errors and corrections. I bet they are hoping you'll volunteer to analyze things that no one asked about, so that you can help them towards 100% accuracy.
Dude, you are way too sensitive. It wasn't a cut on you, but just some added information.
DeleteLove your site, now chew my ass....again.
Dusty, 1) I wasn't talking to you, but thanks for butting in.
Delete2) I'm not, I'm fed up with getting flak for other people shit, I've covered this on previous rants.
3) Too sensitive? You've got no clue how much crap I put up with, but I'm sure I'm so much more improved by reading YOUR 2 cent worth.
Move along.
If you don't want comments, don't put a reply button.
DeleteI want comments, they are fine, if you don't understand that, read the ones on every other post that isn't this one.
DeleteBut criticism? Fuck criticism, and critics.
Are you here to see what I post? Or bitch about what I post?
Get a clue. Then come back. If I don't want your comments, I simply delete it. Maybe you didn't notice, all comments are moderated, by me. You don't have a say so unless I allow it.
