  • Good info…but unlistenable

    30 minutes in and they’ve talked about NM Railrunner for less than 5 minutes. Would be better if they stayed on topic.

    I am glad I have discovered your discussions by chance, I am learning a lot! It is easy going but with a lot of facts. Sometimes I get lost in the jokes and the acronyms, and I am not English native 😀 but I hang on! Go on it is very pleasant. From Paris to Utah with love xxx Hélène
