I can't speak to the SCL days, but SAL had some named<br>
fast freights No. 27 (The Capitol as I recall) and No. 86<br>
a.k.a. "The Fox". It was scheduled from Baldwin, FL to<br>
Richmond in 24 hours 30 mins. It set off perishable<br>
traffic to N&W at Secoast. One poor yard clerk at Raleigh<br>
went to make a yard check as No. 86 was recrewing. He<br>
had to cross through the train, but as he was ready to step<br>
off, he was face-to-face with No. 57<EM>, The Silver Meteor</EM><STRONG>. <br>
</STRONG>That's when the fresh crew left Raleigh. The clerk couldn't<br>
detrain safely. So he was in the Secoast set off with the<br>
rest of the perishables.<br>
<br>
As far crews required to make an Alberta turn, well I've<br>
thought CSX was a bit top-heavy on management. How<br>
many vice presidents would it take ? I note last month<br>
the appointed ANOTHER vice president -- this one in<br>
V.P. - Strategic Infrastructure Initiatives. Wonder what<br>
he does. CSX officialdom would be hard-pressed to<br>
qualify on my Lionel.<br>
