Glad you enjoyed it, Janie... Well, I guess that "brethless" mean ya' enjoyed it... Either that or you read it while doing your Jane Fonda work-out... lol...

I have learned over the last couple of days that any plans to dig the train out are back on hold... One company got a grant to do it and they dug a shaft down to where the train is, found water, started pumping the water out and were stopped by the City Of Richmond because they didn't have the proper permits and there were fears that if the pumped out the water then it might cause more collapsing and then homes above it might fall into sinkholes...

BTW, the reference in my song to "61" had to do with a section of the tunnel collapsing and a large sinkhole appeared near Jefferson Park... Fortunately, no homes were lost or damaged...
