      Can you imagine? Im good with my dinky little assignment thank you. 😊

      Edit: After re-reading your comment i realize that you are asking what he meant and not repeating what he said.

      A meet is when two or more trains that are opposing each other’s directions on single track meet where there is a “siding” or second track long enough to hold one of the trains so the other(s) can keep going.

      I thought you were agreeing with the locomotive engineer and reiterating what he said. So my reply to you was “no thanks I prefer my little dinky train that travels only a few miles to service customers”.

      I hope I’ve explained in a way you can understand. 😊

      I think it’s meeting another train going the other direction. The headlights coming through the inferno was a crazy sight.

      The ‘… and a half’ is Canadian for something out of the ordinary or extreme.
