Watching right now!! It rocks!! Thank you for the schedule :) I just learned that locomotives have sand that blows under the wheels when the wheels slip :D

Although I'd seen this last year, I watched it again. A pretty good show. Except their explanation of the reasons for mega mergers is a bit thin.

:D

I wa quite surprised when they noted in 2004, there were 50+ RRs operating in Pennsylvania. Must be more spinoff short lines that I'd imagined!

I thought it was a good show. Could have been 2 hours so they could have gone into a little more detail. They should have explained more about stopping distances. Maybe some of these morons would listen and save themselves!

I was very impressed with the UP yard. It was amazing to watch the cars unattached go rolling downhill and to the correct train. Outstanding!!
