Just keep the fingers crossed. If they contacted you and it wasnt " Thanks but get lost" You have a shot still.

Those viaducts are for MOW to be able to drive up there.As for the third track? That will be an Amtrak only track if anything.Thats who is supposed to be putting it in place. But till it happens, I wouldnt worry too much.

That is correct. He got to play with them all weekend.

Have to ask the UP Trainman he broke it. I think it was a software issue. Cant recall which one didnt want to run when we sent them to the harbor.

Never heard of that with the short train theory. Funny the Kankakee local can drop the gates just fine with 2 cars But I digress. The gates timing is set by the FRA. If you are going to run x speed those gates have to be down by x time.

News flash. CNIC will not be playing ball with Amtrak. Durbin and a few others are already talking of routing the trains on the Joliet Sub over the Rock. Not to mention they are starting to blather about " High speed rail" over that section of the Rock.Dont know how and dont know where the...

Dickies carpenter jeans. I have pairs that are finally breaking down that I bought for Freight service in 2010. They hold up to abuse and you have plenty of pocket storage.

Just saw the post, how did it go? I think you nailed it with what you said here. Not afraid to do dirty work and odd hours. We have a few ladies on my little streak of rust that cant hack it. Sounds like you will be able to.

To the topic of passing a train in a station. Unless there is a high platform ( like the entire MED district or 35th and Gresham on the Rock) or intertrack fencing , you must not enter a station if another train is stopped there. Now we just re did 80th ave last year with a tunnel and intertrack fen...

Well something id go wrong. One died Way to go UP boy!!!!! SES BTW is closer to a reality than the STAR line ever will be. Its Route will cause some issues with capacity at Lasalle and 47th street ( if we get the Southwest coming over as well) so who knows how or when that will all happen.

Its all good. I had a manager tell me presidential cars are coming. What are those? You know gallery cars! Like what we have already? No they are presidential......Ok so if you see cars that look like politicians roaming about, you will know.

Yeah how about no.......
