Rant on shipping

[dragoneggs]

“That train don't run here any more
Not like it used to run before
When it brought Lady from the city
When it brought Stranger from the shore
Now it doesn't run here any more
That train don't run here any more

That's a cool pic! Unusual and a bit haunting.

These old shipping route pics are great! Keep them coming. No rants here.

Are we posting these railroads and their tracks pictures on the wrong thread?

No

Then they should send me a big message "WE PRINTED YOUR LABEL", not "Good news, George. Your order shipped on 05/01/20"

When did "shipped" come to mean "we entered your address"?

Well my original complaint was the terminology of shipping and shipped some vendors use. But although the thread has been railroaded it still seems pretty much on track.

I agree that it hasn't been derailed.

All the best,

Should we put these remarks in the category of "groaning puns"?
