** THREAD ON @eBay, MY FAMILY AND WWII **
Last week my dad forwarded me a story about a 96-year-old World War II veteran Clarence Smoyer who was recently awarded his Bronze Star almost 75 years after the battle that made him a hero.
Three years later: New AD, same story. #FireDave
My favorite Pat Murphy image: The day he learned the mound belonged to Ryan LaMotta. #SicEm #ThisIsMyCrew @BaylorBaseball

Update: I have now been on hold with the @United Premier Priority Desk for more than two hours. There is no estimated wait time, no response to my DMs, and no United staff available to help. United has left passengers stranded overnight at O’Hare without meaningful support.

One of two commemorative CSX locomotives honoring America's 250th anniversary rolled across the Potomac River and into the Nation's Capital. 🇺🇸
During its stop in Washington, D.C. FRA Senior Advisor Kent Gray has the amazing opportunity to tour CSX Locomotive No. 250; the modernized, 4,400-horsepower locomotive that weighs more than 215 tons.
This is a powerful tribute to the strength and legacy of rail in our country.

@CSX employees now have a powerful new tool for hard-to-reach inspections: a drone. 250+ drones, 350+ FAA-certified employee pilots, 8 departments using them. 🚁 #RailInnovation
The rail lines that make up today's @CSX have been part of America's story for nearly 200 years, and seeing the train arrive in Washington was a fitting reminder of that legacy.
Brought to life by our talented railroaders in Waycross, Georgia, these commemorative locomotives also highlight the vital role freight rail continues to play in powering the U.S. economy.

RAILWAYS have kept America moving since the 1800s!
The Freedom Train celebrates 250 years of the USA by reminding us all of the important role trains have played in history - from moving freight and fuel to connecting people and communities 🚂
Great insight from @AmosSnead — and it extends beyond the Hill, too.
.@AmosSnead says one of the best things young Hill staffers can do is build real relationships early — because the people around them now may be running Washington in the years ahead.

Tomorrow marks two years since the Dali struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge and I am proud to report on the progress that we are seeing. Not only did we reopen the channel in 11 weeks, when people said it would take 11 months – last year, the Port saw record-breaking container numbers, and that’s only going to grow once the CSX Howard Street Tunnel Project is completed, increasing the Port’s business by around 160,000 containers annually, and generating 14,000 jobs.
