I don't know much as far as riding locomotives is concerned but I have noticed the same subtle sense has developed in me through all the times I have rode speeders. Over the years you get a sixth sense of how the speeder itself is running, cylinders firing right, belt slip, etc. Riding these cars and working on the tracks you also get a feel for the track, the steady ring of good solid rail, the tinny ring of loose rail, the pound of a loose or misaligned joint, and the feel of a stretch of out of gauge tracks or bad track. <br /> Fairmont Motorcar Fan
