So let me see if I understand your comment, Chris. You posted it to accuse Zaroff and I of doing the same thing you're now doing. That's precious.

Anyway, Zarkoff has already replied to you. He and I had 40+ year careers in the American railroad industry, doing exactly what's shown in the video, at the same exact location, with the same exact locomotives, with the same exact switchmen. Sorry to disappoint you, but we really do know what we're talking about. I've never been to New Zealand and know nothing about their railroads and operating practices, so I'm not qualified (or vain enough) to post about how you do things in your country, thus I find it rather odd that you feel you're qualified to post about how we do things here.

As for Margaret, I don't know her and have no idea or interest why she no longer posts here. (Conversely, a lot of current and former railroad employees have indeed stopped posting here because of the lack of oversight and moderation by the listowner, but as far as I know, Margaret has never been an employee.) All I know about her is that we frequently used to see her and her son waving at passing trains from trackside.
