Hey Dru, Doing o.k. just busier than heck. Working all the time. How you been? Sorry to hear you guys split up. I can't work that Pratt to DH run, since the UP took over I only have seniority in Herington. Mostly slow drags, everythings been all backed up all over, might get to Waldec or White city and then just sit for hours waiting for congestion at Herington. Supposedly we are going to increase it even more, we've got 2 new auto-racks already, but I don't know when or what trains. They are talking about putting in 2 more tracks on the west side of the yard at Herington, and maybe hiring a few more carmen. No, no LBBPX or it's twin, must have been an ICHLB (westbound, almost all CSX cont's) and either an ILCIM (splits at Her. becomes ILCIM and IHNCH, mostly CSX cont's, usually has some pigs on it though) or ITIBP (likely, almost all CSX stuff). About that TWC, we didn't like it either, it's not too bad, but a lot more radio chatter, I don't know that they can get much more out of it than DTC, they just didn't have it set up right at Galva for DTC, everything else is pretty much similar, except it's easier to put an eastbound in the siding (used to be pretty rare for eastbounder's to take sidings because of the location of the block board). Just a little note, neither the siding at Bucklin or Galva are true CTC (yet) they are currently "poor man's" CTC, they are manual interlocings at the moment although supposedly a CTC gang is to come out this summer and start working west out of Herington. We'll see, they've said that before, also a rail gang next summer (we need that, a lot of that rail is pretty light (115 or 119 lb) and very old (like mid 40's and early 50's). Anyway, that's about all, hope your doing o.k. <br />Later, <br />Derek
