The railroad tracks in the yard are excepted and no longer meet minimum safety standards, so the cars were moved slowly, beginning with the blue 2000 locomotive. Work was performed by Coastal Railroad Construction of Portsmouth and paid for by the Cape Charles Historical Society.

Saunders Special to the Eastern Shore Post Most of us encounter a situation where we are told Hillman Dan By to “wait a moment” or that somebody will answer you in a “moment” or that you’ll find out what you want to know in a “moment.” What we are never told is just exactly how long is a “moment.” In our crowded daily lives, when we are trying to get things done or solve problems, it would be nice to know just how long a “mo- ment” is. Recently, I asked a person serving in a “cus- tomer service” capacity at a dreaded call-center how long a “moment” was and I was told that it could be anywhere from a few seconds to 15 minutes or more. The question here is why such imprecision is allowed to pass as customer service.

Instead of the word “moment,” we often hear someone The Way I See It will be with you “shortly.” As with “moment,” the consum- er has little to no idea what “shortly” means.
