[VIDEO] Jim Zimmerlin's latest video talking about his new track cleaning locomotive for his G-scale tracks. And he notes the nice letter from the owners of TrainWorld.com and of course the fact that he uses that site to get most of his G-scale products. Now I know where to go for more model trains, and without having to wait for Menard's to have any on sale in their stores during the holiday season. 😛

Virtual Railfan cam of the week San Juan Capistrano, California
[VIDEO] You will once again be able to see both Amtrak and commuter trains from San Juan Capistrano, California for at least the next week. It was a demo live cam sometime last year and wrote about it back then. It's cool to see train come through at a nice train station and under that wonderful California sun especially during the day.
Enjoy it while it lasts or do what I should've done purchase a subscription to Virtual Railfan. Who says that their YouTube channel offers the only action as far as live webcam trains running through?
BTW, feel free to enjoy my railcam page which now includes a webcam at the Amtrak station in Barstow, California. All of the webcams represents different legs of the journey between Chicago and Los Angeles on Amtrak's Southwest Chief train.

Star Trek 4 cancelled?
[VIDEO] Time to return to the Star Trek beat for a moment, and if you believe John Campea I would hate that the latest installment of JJ Abrams' Kelvin universe is shelved. Why is this going on with the fourth installment of the new film series? A contract dispute...
It's time, but at least Trekkies can look forward to a new Capt. Picard series and of course episodes of Star Trek Discovery as well.

'Mean' Gene Okerlund R.I.P.
Sorry to hear about the untimely passing of longtime pro-wrestling personality "Mean" Gene Okerlund. He was one of the faces of the then World Wrestling Federation in the early 1990s and could never imagine him going too far away from the wrestling scene.
Eventually he moved on to World Championship Wrestling and once his time ended there he moved back to the WWE (former WWF) and hosted some programs that aired on TV and on their emerging streaming network before the WWE Network. He became a member of the WWE Hall of Fame and was signed to a lifetime contract with WWE.
Like I said I could never imagine him too far away from the business and he seemed so different from his moniker. In the often emotionally charged world of "sports entertainment" he often seemed very mild mannered. He was often a welcomed and respected presence!
I wish we had more time with you "Mean" Gene!
