Passenger Trains > Single unit 29/30Date: 04/30/16 07:20 Single unit 29/30 Author: PennPlat With the 48 experiment it comes to mind why not run 29/30 single unit Washington - Cumberland and Pittsburgh - Chicago? Just base a P42 at either Pittsburgh or Cumberland and add the unit at those locations. 29/30 runs most of year wtih 8 Supers and 1 bag.

the AutoTrain pool and have had numerous failures lately. Date: 04/30/16 13:16 Re: Single unit 29/30 Author: mp109 Would probably not save any money. They would probably have to pay the train crew extra for switching the engine on and off, or maybe even have to station an extra crew to do the switching and watch the engine overnight!

So you can just cut the sarcasm. Posted from Android |
