I don't think they will work in the yards either. Since the days I did work for the IHB, I've heard about the possibility of running them, but what if a car which is being put over a "hump" has accidently gone into a wrong track? They would have to send an engine in to recover it. If they do the same thing with a computer programmed system, how long would it take them to type the orders in to the engine? Where a train with a crew, can grab it immediately, without having to stop and type it in and wonder? Ralph Zimmer Alsip, Il.
