Could they have had four of the converted F40 baggage engines? Most times 
when theres some sort of train thing on tv, I just turn off the sound. Big  
problem is, they try and talk too fast, so their mouth gets ahead of their 
brain. :-) (Mine does too, but not as often and not on national tv)

No, don't think so, unless they've outbid Guilford. :-)
