Hey Mark, you can have my CORA!!! It weighs about 10 lbs and it's getting old carrying it in my grip. No, but seriously if i ever go on a foreign route it comes in very, very handy!!!

Very informative discussion, I especially appreciate Mr. Hemphil's time and effort to share his knowledge. But, for me, it took me back to my early train riding days (40's-50's), on passes we rode the secondary(heavyweight) trains. I always favored the sound, not to mention the ride, of 6 wheel trucks through diamonds, interlockings, and just clickity-clacking down the jointed railroad.
