To run slightly with the foreign idea, it would be good to write about foreign railroads and then make comparisons - i.e. everyday practices, regulations, numbers - to those of U.S. railways. <br /> <br />For example, I would love to see a feature that compares the railroads of US and ex-USSR (mostly Russia). Why Russia?? Well, the railroading practices there are very similar to the practices here - great freight tonnage, universal four-axle freight cars, and use of automatic couplings (although of a different type). The twist lies in the fact that Russia is an electric motive power fan's paradise, and long-distance passenger service is as extensive as elsewhere in Europe - but hey, that's where comparisons get interesting. <br /> <br />Comments??
