I wouldn't hold your breath. Even the many isolated operations (Utah mine to power station RRs for example) haven't managed to use RC on road operations. It might be possible in certain limited circumstances. The technology and reliability of the technology will need to advance substantially from its current state before any of this is even remotely possible[lol]... <br /> <br />Train handling can be tricky business, especially where grades, speeds and train makeuip are issues. It is less of an issue in single commodity (unit) trains with fixed power consists. In other words look for places with conveyor belt type operations and relatively short ROWs with few crossings to be places this might be tried. As to out on the real mainline it may never happen. I certainly hope it won't. But then, in any event I doubt it'll happen before I take my Railroad Retirement and head for the 'house... <br /> <br />LC
