If you are fanatical about railways and there isnt one in heaven, its hardly going to be heavenly is it?\nIf there is a rail network in heaven, who maintains the track etc and do new exciting engines and rolling stock get released? If so, who by?

Yes the military operates their own railroads. Most of the train crews are civilian employees. I work for a railroad now and I was in the US Air Force for several years around a USAF railroad. The gov't owns track, property, locomotives and rolling stock. They also contract out to several class 1, 2 and 3 railroads to meet the transportation needs. I belive that military railroads are class 3 railroads, basically shortlines. See the link below for pics.

I totally agree with you,   But keep in mind that when it's all over, there won't be that many people from this earth going to heaven.\n In answer to your question,   Satan has thrown a blindfold over the eyes of the people, that they can't see,  Remember the verse in the Bible  " A child will lead them"?  The reference to the child  is because only a child will not already be defiled by this world..\n Think about your favorite food,  Now wonder to yourself what it would be like if you never tasted your favorite food before,, It would not be your favorite food, would it?   Sex is first tried by teens and even younger children, because it's being taught in our schools. Once they try it they like it, they do it , until it's an obsession.            and the A.C.L.U. is standing back with their boss "satan" laughing . But keep heart, for in Revelation it says, that satan and his followers will be cast into a LAKE OF FIRE...  But it doesn't help our teens now though, except a good dose of AIDS..... That might cure them..  Hopefully some of our teens will stand back and watch before jumping in the sack, or back seat...\nWe had a visiting preacher that said he saw a bumper sticker that said " If it feels good, do it.... So he said he rearended him, later when asked why he did that , he replied It felt good.. The wrong message is being taught in our schools, and in most homes, also, I heard a father say to a boyfriend of his daughter,  If my daughter gets pregnant,  I'll break your neck, But to his buddys, about his son, Ah he's just out sowing his wild oats,   Not CARING that it's someone else's daughter he sowing with..

I was surprised to learn this myself, but the DM&E is actually independent of outside ownership.  It formed the IC&E to purchase the assets of I&M Rail Link.  Also of note is that the DM&E has created a holding company, Cedar American Rail Holdings, Inc. which manages both railroads.  A bit complex, I know!  But to answer your question I don't think at this time that the railroad/s is publicly traded.  However, this could very well change after the DM&E completes its 280-mile line into the Wyoming's Powder River Basin and becomes a Class 1 railroad (which one would think at that time that it would go public).

Wondering .. if these intelligent people answering "no" in here to this question would say the same thing for some human born totally brain-dead .. destined to live a life on a respirator?\n\nall this know-it-all-stuff is so confusing!\n\nI think if there were a heaven .. silly thought I know .. at the front gate there should be picketers .. with signs: No Dogs? No WAY!, "BOYCOTT ST Peter" .. "PETA Hates Jesus" and such.

Interesting how so many people quote a different part of the bible without dealing with the fact that there is a clear contradictino here.\n\nTHis guy posted a verse that says basically, ask and you shall receive. Not "I'll think about it", but you shall receive.  And you all quote verses saying "not so fast".  Well, which is it? Can we move mountains with faith? Only if it's for a good cause? What?

In theory it will never get there as every half-distance will take an hour, and the number of half-distances is infinite. This is Xeno's Paradox in disguise, I think.\n\nIn practice the train cannot change speed with  a few metres left to a crawl that would take an hour, and it would grind to a halt or be unable to maintain the regime.\n\nBut the series 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 ... converges on 2 but never actually makes it.

No.  My obsession with trains isn't any way sexual.  In fact I really don't know exactly why I like them so much.

At the moment you first start your trip, every train that has left the other station in the last 48 hours is on the track, and will be seen by you.  As well, every train leaving the other station in the NEXT 48 hours will also be seen as you make your journey.  So, you will see every train which has left the other station over a 96-hour interval.  This is 96/8=12 trains.\n\nHowever, you also see one just as you leave (at time zero), so you would actually SEE 13 trains.

If you read the whole Bible, you'll probably stop believing in Heaven.  That is if you read it with an open mind.\n\n\n\nNotice all the people saying you don't have to read the Bible to get into Heaven.  If that was the case why would people have spent so much time writing the instruction manual?  How can you believe in something you know nothing about?  If the only verse you know is John 3:16, I'm pretty sure you're a lost soul.  But beware, if you do read it you'll probably see it for the book of fables it truly is.

Hey, mammalboy. Get a clue. Trains are still used today but tracks don't run everywhere that roads go. Genius.

It is a theory like the question 'would you sacrafice your life to save the world from an invasion?' One day you will have to face this puzzle like saving your love ones by killing yourself and etc..... Well it is a dilemmna but I wouldn't do it. The thing is why would the five people would be on the track anyway? And so on......

I know for sure because my guardian angel told me…\n\nI’ll be sent to some dark and distant realm (aka another universe), to hunt down and destroy certain renegade demons who delight in disrupting harmony (time-space). He said: “These beings are evil beyond imagination, and even we angels could not deal with their ugliness, but some of you humans who are half-breeds will be able to use your evil side to see them, and slay them.” And then he went on about all these strange weapons and inter-universal transport systems. Well who am I to argue, and besides, someone has to do the dirty work, and I don’t see the Christians lining up, so I’m happy to comply.

Sorry, I'm gonna pull a Mainworry but this answers your question better than I could have hoped for\n\nParable of the Two Sons:\n\nJesus told a story of two sons.  A father asked his first son to work in the fields, and he replied, "of course I will!"  He then went outside and changed his mind and did not work\n\nThe father asked his second son to help with the fields, and his son relied, "No!"  but later felt guilty and worked in the fields.\n\nJesus asked, "Now, which son did what was right?" and the crowd replied, "The second one!"  Jesus said, "Ah, surely prostitutes and tax collecters will enter heaven before you do".\n\nAthiests are the ones who say "No" to God, but often do what is right of their own choice.  Christians are the ones who say "Yes" to God, but then act in the opposite manner as they should.
