Look what Google can teach you

With all the recent meetings and headlines about the EJ&E, I found myself wanting more in-depth information. I went to Google and Wikipedia and plugged in the terms "EJ&E trackage map" and "CN" and "Union Pacific Railroad." Then I added the words "Whiting, Ind." and "BP Amoco" followed by "tar sand or oil sand." I made note of the towns Bensenville, Melrose Park, West Chicago and Superior, Wis. Now it begins to stir up the possibilities that a much bigger plan is in the works. If you try this, let your mind ponder this first search for a day and come back to Google and put in: Dick Cheney, Wyoming, Fort McMurray Alberta Canada, Richard Daley, the O'Hare expansion. Just wanted to share the fun I am having with my new computer. And hey, how about the power of Google?
