hey Dru, sorry to hear about your wife, I hope she is doing better now. I met that sp9800 later that night, we met him in the siding at janet, those sp9800's have been floating around a little bit, we used to never see them 'cause they were assigned to the I-5 corridor on the west coast, I guess the UP decided to let'em out into the rest of the SD70 fleet. I worked a ballast train at Mac on the 23rd, mainline is open although at 15mph, may be a little higher now though, I think they said it took 26 panels to rebuild it. the other rock train you saw, dumped their rock and came back to herington the same day (23rd). you should see the siding at white city, it's 4miles long. as for the CTC question, you're close on the CP, it stands for control point. as far as I know for the time being it is not going to be CTC, although I'm sure they have it set up to be in the future, they may surprise me though and do it now. also when they get it open, for a while all trains will run through the siding, so they can put some new big pipes under the main, and fix that stretch of track back up, (it's pretty rough right now). talk to ya later, hope your wife is doing o.k. <br />derek
