Lee, you made me think of the time I rode shotgun with my friend Jim hauling   stainless coils into NYC. He had to back a 53' covered wagon clear into a building and up to a dock, turning 90 degrees to the two-lane city street in the process.

I know the feeling I deliver in the city now I had to quit the road runs for my company after 23yrs with them due to my arthritis in my hips and knees  now they let me run the city all day and I love it this was a very tight place to get in it reminds me when I use to run to New York City back in the early 90s when I first started driving a truck. 

Caught this guy in St. Louis last week 

Wreck train with a Big Hook!

I have had the privilege of watching a Big Hook at work. As I remember it everything pretty much moved in slow-motion.

Dad took this pic Summer '54. Climbing towards Silverton.

In those days it was still a mixed train.
