this is missing my original talk. IN the chicago area we have 3 railway company’s operating the system, and one had signs left up from the old days which in watching the train come into that stations platform did not stop at the sign based on the number of cars + the diesel engines or engines. which could be 5, 6, 7, or 8 cars, we stop at 8 here. 1 or 2 engines. i should say more here, 1.who is driving the train, 2.what co. does he work for, 3.how long is the train, 4.how long is the platform, 5 what is the time of day, am rush, pm rush, midday, evening . 6. out of all the cars what are being used, open, 7. weekend, or week day, 8.raining or snowing, 9.end of the line, 10.is the platform so short that only 2 cars will fit. 11.is the train pushing or pulling. (it does not work here you can not tag all 400 platforms the same.) >Monday, August 10, 2020 10:51 PM -05:00 from Warin < 61sundow...@gmail.com >: > >On 11/8/20 1:11 pm, 80hnhtv4agou--- via Tagging wrote: >>the train or trains do not stop where he says they do, >Do they stop at the platform?
