Spending the majority of my waking hours on a damn loco, I must say that G.E. -9s are rattling trashcans compared to the sweet silence of an EMD MAC. <br />Ken <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ken- <br /> <br />Perhaps I am a bit hard on our friend from across the sea but I can't help thinking about my wife's college reunion in June '01 shaking hands with the young alumni association president. A few months later I was turning on CNN having woken up late after a hard turn on the rails when he and his 3 year old son disappeared into the fireball at Tower 2 of the WTC enroute home to L.A. Likewise I can't help but think of the smiles shared with some of the guys from FDNY Rescue I met at various firefighting training seminars over the years, at least two I remember never returned from that fateful alarm. I didn't know any of them all that well, but it was well enough for me. I guess it makes me a bit thin skinned on the subject. <br /> <br />Maybe that guy who was gonna place charges up against a viaduct when he got here will be caught or even deterred by the fingerprinting and photographing or other security, and we and our train crews can continue operating another day or week or month in safety. I hope so. <br /> <br />LC
