Title: New trains added to AH
Post by: Widewing on August 13, 2002, 12:48:15 PM
Last evening, heading into A12 to gas up my Hellcat, I spot something chugging its way across the bay. I asked nearby pilots what it was, they thought it was a barge. However, it didn't look like a barge, so I went over to have a look.

It was a train! Huffing along a mile from the nearest land, much less railroad tracks.

I filmed it, 'cause I figured no one would believe it. I'll post a screen shot here tonight...

Imagine being in your PT miles from land and taking fire from a train coming up on your six... Talk about having the perfect whine of the week!

Twilight zone material. :D

My regards,

Widewing

That is too funny!

Must be some sort of "Landing Vehicle: Train" that's been developed in secret.

WideWing i took a screenshot of the same thing and posted on the bbs, couple months ago.

Looked pretty strange to me too.

Now Widewing, that wasn't any train.... it was a sea monster ;)

Don't be messing with Nessie :p she packs a mean punch if you get too close.

I have seen smoking things in the water before... and they werent trains.  Smoking flocks of sheep (er, square herds) have been spotted roaming around.  If it was indeed a train then it must be a mistake.  :)

Hell, I saw a giant squid in the ocean not too long ago.

I got all excited thinking I discovered something new, only to be told by my squad...."Been there, Done that"

If memory serves me, I think the squid killed me when I attacked it.

I'll have to check my stats page to see "Killed by: Giant Squid=1"
