Hi,Don't reply to bcdef. He is supposed not to be here. He has left the building. Only his gost is still here. And this gost always thinks it is right. So it is of no use to reply to him.Dick van den Hoven

Taped the show and finally watched it today. It is a great show that any train fan should see. Looking forward to someone do a Zephyr and if possible a UP "lil zip" BTW, isn't someone doing the California Zephyr?ATSFDUDE
