The fellow was running northbound on a commuter train. As he was zipping along at 90 mph the nose of a GG-1 started to pass him on the next track. One G went by, then the nose of a 2nd G appeared. The engineer thought it must be a "Florida" train or another long distance train to be going that fast with 2 G's. After the rear nose of the 2nd G passed him, he started seeing Tropicana cars going by, it was the Tropicana train doing over 100 mph. Oh by the way, the Tropicana train engineer was relieved from service for speeding. Dave H. Dave H. Painted side goes up.
