Usenet/RAILROAD Sig Spotter's Guide (with apologies to Jerry Pinkepank) John Robinson, with ample help from Bill Gripp, and the rest of the Internet rail networks. We are not aware of any guide to the various railrods of Usenet, and so have written this brief guide to aid the growing ranks of train watchers and historians of this corner of the railroading world. The best-equipped road in Usenet by far is the New-York area Gripp road, with a predominance of Alco and Fairbanks-Morse units. The property also has an EMD E5 lurking about, ans even an FM CFA-24.
