Don't know the answer to the other two but I've seen SD70Ms boot up Windows XP Embedded before they kick over to the operating screens. Bill is everywhere. Copyright 2008 Jerry DeBene
Measuring flanges? I was reading a recent TRP article about Cajon Pass, and they talked about a train crew measuring loco wheel flanges,(two and three quarters) then doubling them, and adding that to the wheel diameter to check the speedometer(?) reading. Why did they do this? Do they still do it? This was on an SP train going over Cajon. I'd like to know the formula!!!! Thanks in advance for any answers. Bob Copyright 2008 Jerry DeBene
