Keith Ode commented on Isaac Kuster's blog post NWP 1922 must have been up to something today? 4/26/2012
Keith Ode commented on Jon Wilbert's blog post cfnr Pentrex video?"There were no CFNR operations after July, 1996. Unless you're freelancing a CFNR that hypothetically existed beyond then, There's no reason to look past then! "
Keith Ode commented on Jon Wilbert's blog post cfnr Pentrex video?"I'm not sure how helpful the Pentrex CFNR video is. It's the most disappointing Pentrex video I've seen. Its less than an hour long and the coverage of the NWP section is really lame. In contrast, Pentrex's…"

Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"I'd love to see a situation in court where a charge of trespassing using 369i is upheld against someone who is more than 20 feet from the tracks, or who crosses the tracks quickly and safely while no train or equipment is present. If…"
Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"With things like "officer discretion," what good are laws and policy? If a cop's going to get a big head and do what he wants anyway, what's the point of any of it?"
Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"Correct. You are in violation of CA PC 369i if you are INTERFERING with railroad operations WHILE ON RR PROPERTY. Simply being on RR property is not a misdemeanor. How could it be? Jail time for crossing the tracks?…"
Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"You "hopefully come across a weapon, drugs or other contraband." You excitedly proclaim that this makes it a "felony arrest!" See, this is why so many people, probably the majority of teens and adults absolutely…"
Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"I tried typing a message here from my friends iphone and gave up. Telephones should be used to ring people, not access the internet!"
Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"Yeah, UP, BNSF, AMTK and BART police are all fully sworn officers with jurisdiction laying somewhere between CHP and Federal Marshals/FBI. Definitely no rent-a-cops!"
Keith Ode replied to P&SRkid's discussion SMART Police?"The fact that you got all that typed on an ipod is amazing! "

"Its likely the lumber on the center beam is destined for Calistoga via trans-loading in Lombard."
Keith Ode replied to d kosdrosky's discussion SMART train construction to begin april 27."I was thinking the same thing. I would expect UP to just turn over a whole CWR or ballast train, power and all to NWP/SMART at Suisun/Lombard. Neither 1922 or 2009/2011 are capable of efficiently moving a full length CWR or…"

Hey Keith, sorry if I sound persistant but I'm putting together a powerpoint on the NWP between the years of 1980 and 2011 and could use a little bit more info in the 2011 range, If I give you my personal email, could I possible get in contect with a couple of your sources for info gathering. I understand their wish for confidentiality, and if it creates that much of a problem then say no and I will drop it.
