Not a lot of TOFC. Symbol was bigger than what the train really was. Mostly a DVROM Date: 05/08/20 17:07 Re: Another D&RGW delay report... Author: PHall WAF Wrote:

Symbol was bigger than what the > train really was. Mostly a DVROM I figured that there was a pretty good amount of fill tonnage that got moved by this train. The Rail Blazer it wasn't.

DRG&W had (and still has) a reputation of quality management, excellent front-line employees in all departments, and good customer service. The former DRG&W managers I worked with as UP manager were all class acts. The level of professionalism and pride-in-work of the TE&Y folks was very impressive. I wish I could have had those guys cloned.
