I see Montreal Maine Atlantic Railway has the balls to take on Remote Control Locomotives. Does GTI have the same cahoonahs??

Of course they do :wink: However the cost/benifet would have to be taken into consideration. They don't seem to throw money around, even for supposed labor saving devices.
I wonder also if MM&A(Rail World) has a different arrangment with the unions than Springfield Terminal, that would make it simpler for them to go with remote control than ST.

Hello All,
Just as an FYI - the MM&A doesn't have any labor unions - that was a big thing when Burkhardt and Co. came in.
RCL is working well!
