Re: [speeders] Caddy vs Train



Based upon what the general public knows about Railroads, They probably think 
"Operation Life Saver" is a program to prevent Beechnut from moving their  
"Life Savers"  candy operation out of Holland Michigan(they are actually 
doing this. Kiss another CSX customer goodbye), Once when I was running the 
Muskegon Raiload Historical Society's ex C&O NW2 phase 2 #5208, someone 
pointed at the electrical cabinet ind asked "Is that where you put the coal?" 
But what can you expect when the press continually writes that special 
passenger train was "Chugging into the station". Now maybe it had an Alco or 
MLW or GE with the Mackinosh & Seymor 4 cycle on the point. Then it would 
Chug out of the station & not into it. But it was lakely an EMD!
