MY personal take on Katrina. I once took a trip to the Pacific coast via New Orleans on Amtrak. This city has some remarkable features such as: the Huey Long Bridge which carries the espee high above the old Miss . The long Lake Ponchatrain Bridge (former Southern route) into the city and of course the enormous freight "yardage" just West of the Mississippi. My train the Sunset Ltd. laid over in New Orleans for One day. So my Pullman standard sleeper became my hotel for 3 days. The view out my picture window of course The "Superdome". I just can't believe that this city is virtually shut down with no end in sight to stopping the breech of the dikes. My thoughts and prayers go out to the citizens of the affected Gulf Coast area. I hope the 100 or so daily freights are running via New Orleans soon along with Crescent and the Sunset. <br /> <br />Don from Boston (GP9-FL9)(hoodunits)<font face="Andale Mono"></font id="Andale Mono">
