Kalmbach published a really great book entitled "Faces of Railroading" not long ago. One of the lead stories in the book was by an AMTRAK engineer talking about his grandfather, who suffered a broken neck when slack ran out of his coal train. (Yeah, I know. I was supposed to be looking at the pictures, not reading the stories.) <br /> <br />As a kid I had a book (entitled "Trains") which had a picture of a "mile and a half long" coal train- it might have been a C&O train. The implication of the photo was that this was a routine run by C&O. <br /> <br />Erik <br /> <br />
