Mark - <br /> <br />You state that UP's financial results were difficult to break out of all the intricate corporate structure and that's true. But the statistics such as GTM/TH and operating ratio wouldn't have anything to do with the oil and coal operations, and would provide some comparisons. <br /> <br />Paul Milenkovic - Baldwin beat Porta to the skinny-boilered 2-10-0 concept by about eighty years. They were selling light-axle-loading Decks to short lines beginning in the late 1920s. Strasburg 90 is a living, breathing example and several that were owned by the Gainesville Midland in Georgia still exist, although none operate. The old Russian Decapods were even earlier examples of the concept, and the IRM at Union, Ill. has one of those that has operated in the recent past if it's not running right now. <br /> <br />Old Timer
