Good catch "Tiny"

Member Denneth 'Tiny" Lee recently received an offer from Garden Railroad Magazine advertised as a Father's Day Special. Tiny responded to them:
to grm
bad picture to show to kids and public walking between rails, like its okay to walk between rails and it looks like active rail which they are trespassing. don't know if the picture will come thru. part 2 coming.

Paul from North Conway Scenic Railroad commented: EXCELLENT point Tiny. Good job bringing that to their attention. I am sure that someone in the office didn’t give it a second thought when they sent that out.
Safety First is more than just a slogan.

I wonder if GRM will respond?

And now 'The Rest of the Story" (I loved to hear that man talk on the radio). . . . Well, Deneth Lee did get a response from GRM. They agreed with Tiny that it was a poor choice and that they have taken down the picture.

Dave Miller passed along this comment:
Since I subscribe to TRAINS mag, I rec'vd this as a Father's Day wish, etc. My next e-mail was an immediate apology/retraction from TRAINS that it was done in poor taste since they are a strong supporter of RR safety.

Happy Father's Day to all you train lovin' Dads.
