There's nothing more scarier than being in an F40 doing 80 mph in dense fog, fog so dense we couldn't see the nose! Amtrak's at the Branch Avenue bridge in Providence

Ron Moraca General Durn, Ron! We've no passenger rail out here in western MT, and freight trains travel slowly (20-25mph) through the Bitterroot Valley because the rails are so light (75-80lb) anyway. Because of it, only 4-axle locos can ride on it (GP38/-2. GP40/-2, GP15DC's, GP50's,) safely. I haven't seen one GE on local rails for years. We've got 40 degrees and snow in the mountains on both sides of the valley. It's windy and cold. You and yours have a nice day, Ron. 10/11/2008 4:33:59 PM
