One of the documentary channels (History,Discovery, etc)has been running a program called "12 miles, 40 bridges" about the construction of a short stretch of interstate highway (I-70, I think) in Colorado. The road had to be built through a scenic and environmentally sensitive valley. The thrust of the program dealt with the engineering of the highway in the least invasive way possible. What was interesting was just how UNOBTRUSIVE the rail line that shares the valley is, compared to the road. Even when trains were shown in the valley, they were barely noticeable compared to the road. I doubt if a non-railfan would have even noticed the trains passing through. One little touch that the producers couldn't pass up was the sound of STEAM whistles that accompanied most trains appearing in the video. Trouble is, I couldn't tell whether the whistle was "Lionel" or "Tyco"!! Ron H.
