 Did anyone pick up on the "national news" regarding the
 derailment of the Southwest Chief where the "talking head" said
 that they had removed several pasenger cars and four "engine
 cars" (sic).
 My wife wanted to know if they had four locomotives on flats in
 that consist.
 That is also consistent with the statement that BNSF was
 restricting the speed of "their" passenger trains.  Has BNSF
 bought AMTRAK recently?
