I just learned that one of the reasons I never catch a train on the TPW is they run most of their freights at night. The Iowa Interstate runs at night. And, Ed just informed me that the CFE tends to run at night. Why do they do this? Also, why do they paint their engines?<BR><BR>It seems to me that night running could increase the chance of accidents.<BR><BR>Gabe<BR><BR></FONT>[/quote]</P> <P>Used to be the local regional ran at night when owned by the Class I's, but when it went Shortline, they started running daytime. None of the other shortlines I know of run at night. The only real regional in these parts is MRL, and I believe they run their own trains during the day to allow BNSF to run it's run-throughs at night.</P>
