Ed, We have some of those "tunnel vision" railroaders also. But the old heads of the WW2 generation saw alot more of the world than they wanted to. Several old engineers were at Normandy; one fellow was trapped behind German lines in the Bulge with his tank crew, and one fellow was left to share a small Pacific island with the Japanese for two years before they fled from the Marines. That guy was creepy; you could be having a conversation with some guys and all the sudden, you realized he was standing there. The point is, some of the old heads were of a philosophical bent. Maybe the young bucks of today are less prone to think.
