[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Clemente</i> <br /><br />It was stated above that Kevin Keefe resuming editorship could result in "daisy picker articles." I have every issue of Trains from the Keefe era and they were every bit as balanced and interesting (and in many cases more so) than the Hemphill issues. The August issue is good in that it answers a lot of questions I've had about some bulk commodities, even though it didn't explain what all this high-tonnage stuff did to a railroad with too many mountains to cross. The more we learn about the business, the more we can appreciate the routes and trains. But we can only sit through so many chemistry lessons. If you want all-industry all the time, just read Railway Age. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thanks, I have seen those issues too and I much prefer the Hemphill era. As to Railway Age and Progressive Railroading, while they often have technical articles that are long on the engineering or testing of new products they are trade publications and don't go into the depth of explanation that TRAINS does making trains an easier read. The DRGW article was about the commodities, not the engineering and it was a nice different perspective. <br /> <br />LC
