[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MichaelSol [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cementmixr [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by MichaelSol Well, let me know when you guys get around to referencing such a study; or producing one, and we can look at it. So far, despite all the reference to "all the studies" I am still waiting to see just one. Best regards, Michael Sol [/quote] Well after you said all such studies were thrown away when RR's cleaned house, you then proclaimed that they are all "garbage" anyway (refering to their content and not their physical locations in rubbish bins, I assume). So I asked if you'd read at least a few of them, since you made such a harsh judgement, and you made it sound like you had, but said you would not tell us about them until we presented ours first. Well why don't you tell us about the ones you've read, and show us how they were so flawed? [/quote] I have no idea on which RR's threw what away, or what you are talking about there, but other than that the fact that it was 35 years ago when my files on this were put in storage, I have no desire to go looking for them. Took me three days and 15 boxes just to find the Brown study. But, unlike you, I am also not offering them as proof of anything, because I don't think they were proof of anything. They are not worth my time, but you think they are worth your time. You seem to feel there is some proof of "someting" somewhere. Since I don't know specifically what you are looking at or referring to, I'm not inclined to keep looking for and reproducing studies until you find one that suits what you claim you already know. That's kind of your job; it's your claim. But by all means, if you think you have a study, which is what you and TomDiehl have claimed, and that it offers something to the conversation, I invite you, once again, to produce it and then we can talk about it. Best regards, Michael Sol [/quote] I don't have any study, and have never read one. All I have is something I ran across in a publication that explained how diesels for this company were really beginning to show efficiencies for the company by 1962. They used a "cost per mile" metric, and showed a percent reduction in costs for their locomotives compared to the previous several years.
