Well, I saw an interesting light engine move today, possibly a glimpse into
the future: Conrail, Conrail, C&NW, UP, NS. Two mergered companies right
there,
possibly another in the future?
Has there been a "complete, and official, final" renumbering of SP and CNW
units
into UP yet? I see reports and then a month later there are corrections to
it.
Can't wait to see how CSX and NS divvy up Conrail's power. Should be sort of
like choosing up sides for a sandlot baseball game. Each wants all the choice
stuff, (SD60's, Dash 8's, etc) and who ends up with the scrawny little kid
with
thick glasses (B23-7's, etc)?
