the system. He loves to eliminate railroad. Then, he cut one engine of off
every train as they can still move it with two. So what if it is slower,
it's still moving right? I'll bet they miss him at the former BN like they
miss toothaches. >>
Speaking of Hunter, a recent article in Progressive Railroading indicates
that Hunter is all for short and frequent trains, the only way to run a
railroad. I guess he must not be talking about the IC, but maybe Metra,
considering what Tuch says and we see on the line.
