I had to give a real challenge for this one. I grew up on the Bloomsburg subdivision of the DL&W, granted it was EL, when I was born and then Conrail by the time I was 2. Even had a ride on the Lehigh Valley mountain sub before Conrail sold it to the Reading & Northern.

No - this is Centrailia Pensylvania-- The coal mines started burning maybe thirty years ago and they can'y put the fire out- It's estamated to possibly burn for another couple hundred years. I think the towns population- last reported- 18 citizens--the rest were moved. I guess Centrailia- EAST and WEST have some pretty HOT stuff:)

Hey Fred,

REALLY BIG GONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are right about the population of Centralia but, I grew up 50 miles from there and it is still burning. If you want more about that area of PA, including the correct spelling, please go to www.pahighways.com/features/centralia.html.

Sorry about the period Mr White, my bad, I don't recommend going there, unless you have a death wish, it is still a very toxic atmosphere and the subsidence risk is off the charts. For a while they were worried other coal seems were going to get caught up in it but, luckily it has been contained to the immediate area. Fred, sorry, no excuses,

Has everybody given up on the question? If so I'll post the answers. If not please continue thinking about them. There are clues posted other than the original, "atomic". If I am tracking, from a room with a southerly view the world might be a little clearer. That is all.

One last time.

Who is this man.

What fallen flag did he run?

What current Class 1 did he run?

How did he save somebody?

Here's a good last clue:

If I am tracking, from a room with a southerly view the world might be a little clearer.

This goes with the previous clue of "atomic".

I'll post the answers tomorrow night if no correct answers, have fun, Jerry no cheating.
