In his first post, Henry6 says he cringes when he hears a railfan ask how an engineer knows how to run with a double header.  He seems to believe that such a question implies that the questioner is ignorant of the fact that operating with a double header takes skill, judgment, and coordination that must be learned by much experience; and therefore, the person being asked would be offended by apparent fact that the question fails to recognize that long won achievement in knowledge.  I suppose the person being asked could be offended by that rather odd way of looking at it, but I’m guessing that 999 out of 1000 railroaders would welcome the question.   <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> It is a very insightful and interesting question.  The answer could probably fill a book.  If I were an engineer or otherwise knew the answer, and was participating in a forum at my leisure, I would welcome such a question.  And if my being asked the question made somebody cringe, I would want to know why.   The question in question was on the Classic Trains forum a couple months ago.  Here it is: <A href="http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/131519.aspx">http://cs.trains.com/trccs/forums/t/131519.aspx</A>
