Yes. If you'd like to use it in a sentence: "The OTM stored in 55 gallon drums between Roxbury and Grand Gorge has been stolen."

Hah!

I thought Hein lost the democratic primary to even be running for mayor.

No, that's Shayne "Dump Truck" Gallo.

Hein: = Ulster County Executive (and all around bully).

Gallo: = Kingston Mayor (and all around bully).

Both are facing re-election.

Oh, okay. I could have swore somebody lost and was out.

Yep. Gallow lost to Noble in the Democratic primary. So he is totally out of the equation

One down and one to go.......

Have there been any polls on the county exec race?
I wonder who is leading.

I did a Google search but was unable to find any.

Terry and Hein are neck and neck!

There have been 5 candidate forums in Ulter County.

Hein was a no show at 5 out of the 6.

I'm curious about this as well. I don't know if they do polls on a local election like this or not.

I did hear that Hein will not commit to serving a full term even if he is re-elected. So it is a real possibility that he will leave office to run for US Congress.

Pardon me if this has been seen before, but I'm just seeing this now. Aren't these the same guys who ripped up the line down the hill to Rondout?

Wow. When the contractor asks to waive the performance bond, just say no.

I see on Facebook CMR has another new coach, another former LIRR car.

According to my records, CMRR owns former LIRR 2940, 2949, 2962, and now 2911. Nice to have a standardized fleet, makes maintenance and repairs a little easier.

Norfolk & Western No. 1727 was acquired from Ontario Northland earlier in the year to be converted into a premium service car.
