    Mike, I know You and Daryl Stout are Railroad fans .

    I saw this article and thought of you all .

    I couldn't see the video while on the page but did see a link to the Laser Thor company that developed the Laser Cannon for the Train.

    I did not know how to see the Railroad echo on CCO to post this where both You and Daryl would see it.
    Please pass the URL on to Daryl , thanks

    That's some cool stuff. You can count me in as a railfan as well.. and a lser fan for that matter. I grew up on the Northeast corridor in New Jersey with passenger and frieght trains all day long. As a hobby, I model in HO & G scale. Good stuff.

    Ed,
    Thanks for sharing that link. That was an interesting solution to a
    problem I never thought of them having. ;)
