My apologies for my loose use of the term "block" when referring to a defined stretch of track. The fact remains that what I've seen and heard on UP, BNSF, MRL, NS, CSX, CR, etc., etc., proves that you can cram more trains per mile into a railroad with ABS than without. Wasn't that where we got started? I appreciate your quoting of some rules, but they don't change any of what I've witnessed. As for the notion that ABS on the Oregon Trunk is mostly for slide protection, that statement is true for the 95 or so miles OT Jct. to Paxton, but from Paxton to Bend (just over 50 miles) it's open plateau country. Disingenuous for using an assumed name? You're describing the vast majority of posters here and elsewhere.
