Andre, I ment to ask you, do you operate any of the old Indiana Hi-Rail
Alcos. I read the article in the June trains but didn't notice the disposition
of them.They were definitely seat of the pants to operate. Someday's you
could make them do amazing things,way beyond their specs, and other days
they would barley move themselves. Hope to meet you some day to trade tall
tales about them.

Could have been a short. Whatever it was, makes you do something in your
shorts.
