Some PM.

At last night's ops session there were zero derailments save one.

The lead truck on the C&O K-4 derailed several times. Some lead weight and a new screw with a longer 'shoulder' fixed the problem.

The C&O K-4 2-8-4 by United (PFM) made in 1972 ran over the entire mainline, East and West, with no derailments. I had one discrepancy in my previous 850' of mainline running; I forgot that I always pass on sidings to the right so, about another 150' of siding is used so the total, counting new trackage, is around 1000' when an engine is 'mainline road tested'.

Skykomish.

Havre.

Something we'll never see on an airliner: full width seats that, besides reclining, also has foot rests that fold out from under the seat. This is the GN 1951 deluxe coach car.
