True Dat, Doctor! I still have my pocket-sized rulebook and a few old "back pocket" timetables from the "unenlightened" days. UP does have it right for their GOs, though. One is all you need. As for the "other guys" needing to know all the gory RSV term details, think STODEN/RRBDEN. We have to trade crews at the diesel shop most times. It does get a little scary when you pass Atkinson and we wish the trip ended there :-) But, no pilots for us 'cause we be qualified and the Town bus is there waitin' for us . . .
