"Rock" Island Line

by Charlie Thomas , posted Oct 26 2011 6:59PM

For whatever reason...several rockers are into model railroading. Neil Young was a part owner of Lionel Trains, and holds several patents for model railroad devices.Â And Rod Stewart has 1500 sq ft of track laid out in his Beverly Hills home, with a 1940's New York theme.Â The model skyscrapers are 5 ft tall.Â Reportedly, on tour, Rod has a large table set up in his dressing room so he can work on his model buildings.Â No word on whether he makes the model train go in & out of the miniature tunnel.....

Chasing Windmills....?

by Charlie Thomas , posted Oct 26 2011 6:59PM

Yesterday (4/19) police arrested a man on the I Street Bridge after witnesses reported he had been swinging a sword at passing trains.Â When police arrived, he scrambled up the bridge..high above the Sacramento River..only coming down after officers threatened to tase him. He tossed the 3 and a half foot long sword into the river...and surrendered.Â Delusional...or...a modern day Don Quixote?Â You decide....
