Yes, Doyle McCormack has run the 765. When we ran the Rocky River trip last year, Doyle was the engineer. He was assigned to run the westbound trip from Rocky River to Bellevue. I was to relieve him in Bellevue and run the return trip.

When I climbed into the cab in Bellevue, I asked Doyle how things went. He said, "This is a NICE engine!" Coming from him, that was quite a compliment! He was obviously having a great time. He had enough time left on hours of service and I didn't have the heart to relieve him, so he ran the return trip, too.

He was running on railroad that he was qualified on at one time, so it was kind of special...for him and for us. He is a GOOD engineer.
