Jim, Forgot to say thank you for directing me to the right spot. As a freshman in high school, I thought passenger trains would be around forever, possibly the locals would be cut off but never the necessary ones or the through fast trains. Of course, in my view the Hutchinson mixed was extremely necessary.
