I appreciate that you, an experienced railroader, take the time to make these well thought out and easily understood answers.
If it hasn't plainly been stated by others, let me take this opportunity on behalf of anyone else who has appreciated it as I have, to say "Thank you!"
That's very kind of you, Byrdie. Thanks. Railroading is fascinating, and it is also peculiar and quirky sometimes. I am glad that I can periodically pull back the curtain a little bit.
