More on signal "roolz"

[NW Mailing List]

....falls on the floor....
Illinois Central electric suburban passenger extended the line south 
some years ago I rode it brand new on the old Pullman cars when they 
were running, before you got to the new line the track ride was your 
usual lumpity bump rickin rockin ride. The second you hit the new line 
it was rock solid smooth. A coffee would not even ripple it was that 
smooth. I was impressed.
