Sorry BOB2 you are out of your league when dealing with the most famous FunnelFan. What he knows about high level railroad management is beyond reproach. The only reason why some big railroad hasn't hired to be a CEO after reading all of his posts on TO is that he doesn't have a proper MBA from the right school. Otherwise, he would be CEO of the UP and BNSF at the same time. He has suggested on TO that the Feather River route may be toast forever so you need to step in line.
