    Trains are neat
    Two trains are a treat
    Three trains are a feast - and 3 3-ways are an overload - of enjoyment to the highest degree.

    Galesburg is a delight because so many signals / aspects can be seen in daylight or darkness. Thank you for the double drop, first at the station head and then the overhead signal. Very nice. Plus, it was nice to see the Seaboard Passenger car there too.
    The Ashland clock was really moving time!
    Thanks for all you do.

    16:18 they left the doors open, but tied them together
    16:28 WOAH! Three GT blue Geeps on one train! I hope they aren't going to be repainted in CN black and red

    Birds flying North, North west. Spring? Loco with snow on roofs, Spring? Will soon be the season of the long rails trains, we have already had the agro tractor trains. Do wind turbine gearbox/generator constitute a high wide load restricting route availability? They appear wider then the car they sit on.

      As per Rule 3b under "Speed - Maximum" on BNSF timetables:
      "Trains consisting entirely of double stack and spine car equipment (car kind codes QU, QK, QV, QW, QT, QX, QY, QM, QC, QO, Q5, QE) must not average more than 105 tons per operative brake.
      In addition, the intermodal trains described above may also handle as many as 15 refridgerated box cars identified as "Super Reefers" - BNSF 793110 thru BNSF 794112, provided train does not exceed 90 TOB."
