[QUOTE]TUNKHANNOCK TOWNSHIP, WYOMING COUNTY- Close to 40 families use two railroad crossings to get to and from their properties at the quaint and isolated Black Diamond Beach. The neighborhood hugs the Susquehanna River and is accessible by only the two crossings that use land owned by Reading and Northern Railroad, based in Port Clinton, Schuylkill County. Paul Zabar said in addition to plans by the railroad to charge him an annual fee of $100 to cross, he'll also have to retain a million dollars or more in insurance to allow him access to his riverfront property. "I don't have that extra kind of money to be shelling out to cross over tracks that are really in my deed that I should be able to be crossing anyway," Zabar said.[/QUOTE] [url]http://pahomepage.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=155445[/url] They should be happy its only 100$, one more railroad and it would have been 200.
I actually had to read the thread title about 3 times to comprehend it. And this will get smacked down. An individual did the same thing to a retirement home last year and got his dick slapped in court for it.
the title made me :psyduck:
Funny thing is, until a few months ago I honestly believed Reading railroad was a made up name in Monopoly.
Could someone explain it I think I'm missing something.
Holy shit I live here. What are the chances...
The title is a mind fuck.
This title is indeed the most midfuckiest mindfuck in the history of made up mindfucks.
[QUOTE=BmB;25098338]Could someone explain it I think I'm missing something.[/QUOTE] A railroad company wants to charge the people $100 a year to use the only exit out of their town, which crosses a rail line.
Go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars.

[QUOTE=Ridge;25103176]A railroad company wants to charge the people $100 a year to use the only exit out of their town, which crosses a rail line.[/QUOTE] Totally illegal. They're practically holding them hostage in their own town unless they pay up. If anyone lets these greedy shits do this, I will hunt them down and smack them in the face with a trout a couple times. I'm fucking serious.
wait is the title like one of those "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo"-type sentances that look weird but are grammatically correct because they exploit the vagueries of the English language? Because I'm stumped.

[QUOTE=Octave;25114584]It isn't that hard.... Reading railroad, as in the company that owns the tracks, railroads (pressures or bothers) people that have to cross the tracks[/QUOTE] I've never heard "railroad" used as a verb before.

Kind of expensive for land someone already owns. Besides, they [i]have[/i] to cross it.
That's plain and simply: Bullshit
$100 a year? thats about a quarter every day. you pay more for food and water and you need those more
[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;25135031]$100 a year? thats about a quarter every day. you pay more for food and water and you need those more[/QUOTE] Say you live and work in the town. But you go out of town on vacation. That is $50/crossing.
[QUOTE=Ridge;25136046]Say you live and work in the town. But you go out of town on vacation. That is $50/crossing.[/QUOTE] i can't imagine many people working on a "40-family (most likely residential) isolated neighborhood" and only leaving for a yearly vacation but it sure sucks to be them huh
British people won't get OP's joke, because Reading Railroad is replaced with King's Cross Station in the UK version.
