[quote user="garyla"] [quote user="kenneo"] GM put out a Service Bulletin that described what the auto ramp personal were to do once the car was moved from verticle to horizontal so that it could be forwarded on to the dealer. The dealer was also supposed to have a copy to - just in case. It is this service bulletin that I wish to look at. [/quote] Ref.: #2 Yes, most or all of the people in that group would tend to be those blindly in love with the automobiles. Personally, if
Question 1) The answer is that this was idea 1 step 1. Idea 1a was any existing auto ramp history files that auto ramps might have kept. Idea 1c was contact GM directly. The response from GM was a bit scary - aparently they own the rights to the superstructure and got the idea that I was trying to steal it from them. No amount of explaining would suffice. Question 2) Well, if you know of one that will speak with someone that is not a VEGOPHILE, again, thinking I am attempting to steal some precious
Quotwe from above ------------------ "I have always taken the position that a peace officer has the right to command you to do just about anything short of an unethical or illegal act. Producing identification, hieing my backside another 10 yards away from the tracks, or lowering my camera are not included in those last two exclusions. In Canada the charge is, "Interfering with a peace officer in the execution of his duty," or "Refusing to comply with the demands of a peace officer
Fire fighting of all sorts within reach of the fire hose. Doesn't help much on tunnel or snow shed fires unless they are operating right with or closely following "the culprit". They also can be used to supply water for any other use except drinking. They are not qualified for pottable water use.
Does anyone have a copy of the General Motors document that was issued for the unloading and servicing of the Vega prior to its being sold? Or, perhaps, know where a copy can be obtained? GM can't seem to be bothered since they can't charge the millions need to get them out of bankruptcy.
The AMTRK version of the "Desert Wind" came off about the same time as #'s 25 and 26 (the "Pioneer" wich ran from Seattle via Portland to Salt Lake City (and later, via the "Portland Rose" route from Portland to Denver). Politics. Pioneer was started first with the birth of AMTK and was pulled off when the Desert Wind was for political reasons due to funding being refused by Washington,DC. The Pioneer at that time termindated in Salt Lake City and made connections
I have a residual intrest in the Vert-A-Pac cars. Does anyone have a copy of the destination service instructions for removing/servicing the seals and stuff prior to their being delivered to the dealer? I know that there was a GM service document on the subject because I saw a copy, but now I would like to get an electronic of photo-copy of that item. Also, does anyone here know anything else then the diapers that were placed in the Vert-A-Pac's? I also have an intrest in the OS&D angle.

Al - in - Stockton Worked on that line several years. There are three tunnels between Ashland and Siskiyou - westbound 15, 14, 13. Thirteen is at the top of the hill and is often referred to as the Siskiyou Tunnel. Side clearance is "standard" but verticle clearance is not. Tunnel 14 is between
Your question is yes and yes; and no and no. ??? you say? To be cut into the road power either DIC or for power, the need two things -- alignment control couplers and MU capability. MU connections answer is obvious. Alignment control couplers limit the coupler side to side swing. In yard work you often need as much swing as you can get, but this also limits what you can push if the "doors" are open. With the "doors" closed, the coupler has only the swing that a road unit would
