On the contrary, Oldtimer, it is you who is blathering on about a railroad that nobody outside of trailer park in Appalachia even cares about. Even using N&W and the mighty UP in the same sentence is a joke. The UP’s history, national importance, and motive power is legendary. The N&W was nothing more than a glorified conveyer belt of dirty eastern coal from even dirtier mining towns. The mountain grades you glorify are an even bigger joke. You call 9 miles of 1% grade a mountain? No wonder they got away with using those outdated compounds. I think it is you who needs to take some time and come out west and see what real mountain railroading is about. You can blab all the figures you want, but nothing you say will ever put the N&W in the same league as the UP. <br /> <br />In 10 years, the UP will still be around. The NS will be long gone, absorbed into some western road, its history and management forever forgotten. <br />
