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, :P .

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. B)

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.
