C'mon Bob, if you were 4'9", size 3 feet and no knees the C-415 was perfect. I chased a train out
of Industry one day headed for Colton, never stalled, 8000 tons, 4 - C415's and he was East of
Walnut before he broke 10 mph. As for the Centuries, the train from Houston came in all the way
with a set of C630's. What was interesting was that these were four that were pretty much unknown
and spent most of their lives in Houston. You'd think they'd store them down there but no, they
send them West on a train.
