>My best guess is that it may have been the SP which had capacity issues on the DRGW coal line out of Grand Jct. and modified the DTC rules to allow a second train into a DTC block to follow at restricted speed while the block was jointly occupied. My notes say that the GCOR 3rd edition actually has this modification, which means SP was doing it for at least 5 years before the FRA noticed?

OK thanks. Now that you mention it, I sort of recall this. The recollection is that it was an oversight in the way the DTC rules were originally written in 1985 (this might be a faulty recollection -- it's been a long time). E.R. English, that was a while ago.

>he couldn't switch a giraffe out of a flock of sheep!

I know what you mean. The way a friend from the SP puts it, "Nice guy, but he can't switch a rat t**d out of a bowl of rasins."
