Hey RP---That's great news, and especially that you won't have to haul around any GE scrap iron behing the tender. There can be nothing much more insulting to Lima Superpower than to be accompanied by a d _ _ _ _ d piece of GE junk there just in case the Berk fails.
On another note, replace the existing speed recorder with an old Chicago Pneumatic recorder and I'll show you how a rubber band strategically stretched over the top of the stylus can keep the tape showing only 40. Always worked good for Finkelbaum!
That would not be the only thing to do. Anything Mechanical and computers can and are programmed to show whatever speed you wish the company to see.
On a serious question for OGR, who pays for the Fuel, Water, Sand etc for the special runs on NS tracks? Did'nt at some point say it costs upwards of 10,000 dollars to fill the tender?
