ShaLeah pleads the fifth.
How many people have I 'blocked' from doing it? Lots. On which trains? 40-41 43-44 29-30.
In air travel they call it the Mile High Club. What is it called in railroading? The Golden Spike?

Usually if it's happening in a first class compartment we turn a blind ear/eye unless someone else yells about it.
Did you know that the rooms in the viewliners were made with the specification that they had to be able to be used for copulation? Little known fact but even the top berth can hold two people in the missionary position.

I've got an amusing anecdote to go along with that one. This was our first time in a sleeper, Deluxe room. I didn't want to be bothered with having the attendant open the bed and interrupt our privacy, so I decided to set it up myself while she was in little bathroom. I figured it would take just a minute or so.
Instructions were clearly printed on the back of the table. The sofa was divided into two sections with a lever to release each one. The sign said to pull the lever. So I pulled and pulled and pulled until I was blue in the face and nothing happened. I finally looked at the lever itself and it said "Push." Voila!
So I took the lever to release the second section. I pushed and pushed and pushed until I was blue in the face. Finally I looked at the lever and it said "Pull."
Then I tried to open the upper bunk to retrieve the mattress and bedding. It took all of my effort to get it open just a crack, and I had to wiggle the bedding out of the small crack. I never did figure out why I couldn't open it all the way. The entire process took a good 10 minutes while she waited and waited....
I might note that this was not only my first trip in a sleeper, it was also my first trip in a Superliner.

I would think in railroading it would be called something like The 80 mile an hour club...... :-)
Your posts are not appropriate and pretty stupid..ok!!!
That being said, I want to respond to the other part of your remark.
People tend to attack what they don't understand. Since a lack of understanding is essentially stupidity, calling my posts stupid damages your image more than you may realize. You're the only person to make such a remark. You're definitely in the minority.
That's why I caution you not to embarass yourself any more than you have. If you persist you will be demonstrating your own stupidity, or worse, reveal that, like a child, you lack control over your responses to ideas and people. I can relate to acting that way, but I know better now. I grew up.
Also, please keep in mind that saying my posts are stupid implies that those who posted positive response to them are stupid too. Do you really want to insult so many people?
Don't do it to yourself! That's what Beavis and Butthead do. They walk around saying, "This is stupid!" and "That is stupid." It's their reaction to everything. What's so funny is how blind they are to their own blatant stupidity.
I'm not saying I think you're as dumb as Beavis and Butthead. I won't get into trading insults. I'm trying to tell you that you had a valid point, but your inability to express it politely diminished its value. Your apparent belief that your opinion represents everyone else's is entirely misguided.

Littletrain, I thought you were only 15.
But at least now I know why I always get off in Salinas.

Why doesn't Amtrak serve menudo?
A large saucepan (see note below)
1 calf's foot (about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds)
2 pounds honeycomb tripe
1 large onion
3 cloves garlic, peeled
6 peppercorns
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
4 quarts of water
A comal or griddle
3 large chiles anchos
A spice grinder
A large chile poblano, peeled or 2 canned, peeled green chiles
The calf's foot
1/2 cup canned hominy (1 pound) drained (see note below)
Salt as necessary
1 scant teaspoon oregano
Have the butcher cut the calf's foot into four pieces. Cut the tripe into small squares. Put them into the pan with the rest of the ingredients. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Lower the flame and simmer uncovered for about 2 hours, or until the tripe and foot are just tender but not too soft. Meanwhile, toast the chilies well. Slit them open and remove the seeds and veins from the chile poblano, cut it into strips, and add to the meat while it is cooking. Remove the pieces of calf's foot from the pen, and when they are cool enough to handle, strip off the fleshy parts. Chop them roughly and return them to the pan.
Add hominy and continue cooking the menudo slowly, still uncovered, for another 2 hours.

I'm going to get booted for this, I just know it. I've enjoyed my posting time on RailForum, and if I don't resurface again for six months or so, you'll know why.
In Mr. Emeka's book, it is officially termed the 79 mile per hour club.
I have no further comment.
Wait- here's one. I'm pathetic, in more ways than one. How could you tell?
