Here are two offbeat answers for Craig. <br /> <br />Given the pessimism of the responders, the only solution is to make all of your trains go DOWNHILL on the grade. Getting them up to it is another problem entirely. <br /> <br />If you were to do that, you could happily reenact the situation of Old 97, which goes: <br /> <br />"It's a mighty rough road from Lynchburg to Danville <br />And the lie's on a three mile grade. <br />It was on that grade that he lost his airbrake <br />You can see what a jump she made <br /> <br />It's a little hard on the rolling stock, but it makes a terrific impression on visitors. <br /> <br />Alan <br />
