would that reduce wear and tear on the bridge? Reduce maintenance costs? Yes!

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Chillicothe-Scioto contains the crossing of the
Scioto River, presumably this was done to reduce wear and tear on the bridge?
Omega-Lunbeck I never realized this was ever doubled. All I can say is it
is a remote, curvy stretch down near the river, if that has anything to do
with it. Maybe to reduce maintenance costs? Good question, I hope someone
will have more on this. I dispatch this part of the railroad.</FONT></DIV>
