Afternoon all. I've been in history class for about a week. There's an old railroad bed in the woods behind my parents property and I've been curious about it for a long time so I decided to see if I could find anything out. What a wealth of history I discovered. Long story short this area was booming from the early 1800's till the mid 50's with logging, the rock quarries along with many other things. That particular track behind my parents went to one of the local rock quarries and was a branch line. Found tons of pictures of what the local towns used to look like and the businesses from back then. Neat pictures of the steam locomotives. Even some old resurrected black n white videos of them on the yootubes hauling coal and passenger cars. Pictures of buildings with some still standing today now well over 100 yrs old. Even the 2nd deadliest passenger train accident happened right here in Ashtabula county. Deadliest was in Tennessee in 1918. History is fascinating. Alright I'm done geeking out. Carry on

Ashtabula is 3rd and the one in Tennessee is 2nd, according to this article.

If you think 102 people dying in a train accident is a lot, read this article.

They just made a documentary of the Ashtabula incident. Have yet to sit down and watch it but will be soon.

Due to the microchip shortage during the covid lockdowns many vehicles were shipped with stuff that didn't work.

In many trucks, suv's and such we now replace the seat module and the hvac interface because there's no seat heater switches in them and just toss the old stuff in the trash..

And we wonder why things cost so much...

Would love a dump bed on a truck. I wonder how hard it would be to fabricate?
I`ve seen some local to me that were fabricated and they don`t seem overly difficult once you get passed the frame and hinge points. Knowing what the folks on here are capable of you all could get together and build one in 2 hours that`ll outlast anything else ever built for a dump bed.

Same here. History was the one class in school I always enjoyed going to, history, math, and science, I always got good grades in, A's & B's.

English / Spelling class I struggled in. Having spell check on my computer helps me a sheet ton. I misspell horribly if writing a letter on paper. Typing on my computer I do well. It's like cheating.

For 5th & 6th grade they wanted to hold me back, because I got F in english class. I did so well in the other classes, they bumped me to the next year.
