Date: 09/16/13 18:48 Re: Reroutes on KP Author: upkpfan The trains have to slow down for point facing switches and be prepared to stop if necessary and as you can see, in the last pic., the engineer is pouring on the fuel. Oops, forgot the pics. upkpfan

At your service. Thank you. They have been on here before in the mid 90s I believe it was. Had a HOT Z train from Houston to Denver and back. Every one in a while, they send some our way to keep us entertained. upkpfan Date: 09/16/13 20:03 Re: Reroutes on KP Author: upkpfan Explanation,
Pics. 13,14,15 don't exist. I forgot to add the pics. when I sent the message and got the wrong numbers when I did get my act together. Sorry about the confusion. upkpfan Date: 09/16/13 22:26 Re: Reroutes on KP Author: Rock4332 Perfect... Thanks for sharing. Beats a coal train.
