We all know it will make it even if its over the hours of service. Special Ed has dished out a lot hate over the years himself too about a lot of fine people, so he gets what he gets. You should ask yourself how he got his current job of being the dear leader in the first place. So stop with the poor ed is being picked on. If your happy with a over hyped dog and pony show then great. If you want to hero worship that's fine too, wait until the 4014 gets trashed with its current blow down system that it was never meant to have, like the 844 was. Lets not even talk about the demise of the 3985, 6936, e units, and the rotary. Good Stewart of UPs historical fleet hardly. All is not great because he got a big boy restored back to if you can even call it service since it wont steam properly to even use it with helpers pushing all over the country.
