Got out and paced 765 yesterday (Saturday). Paired up with some buddies, driving a Ford station wagon at Nascar speeds! Anyway, we all beat 765 to Valparaiso (barely), and jumped into position. The NKP curves through town , so one can not see a train immediately. As we briefly waited, we heard 765 coming fast. Up pulled two unwitting middle-aged ladies, and I pointed down the track. They looked. Then 765 roared by, whistle blaring almost painfully and shaking the ground. As the train cleared, all the ladies could say was "Oh my God"!
