And thats the last I would ever see of Kathleen because two days after I returned home I recieved the dreaded phone call that she did not want to continue dating me. And unfortnately her and I are no longer friends because I went into a really bad depression that pushed her away. I would love to be friends with her again but I dont see that ever happening again. And Ill never see this trainset again because it was wrecked in December 2017 with two friends of mine that lost their life on board. I will mourn my friends more so then the trainset, because people have feelings, trains are just cold steal.

Still technically in the United States

In this case its a switchXr
