He said 'the telephone poles literally looked like a picket fence' and they estimate that they were traveling in excess of 130 mph!

Sounds to me like he was driving a Hot Rod Lincoln haha But that's pretty cool I don't know much about the T1's but they're definitely of interest to me now.

I had to laugh too Bill when I read the original article about the poles and immediately remembered 'Hot Rod Lincoln'. Lol.

...and that was pulling a decent sized consist too!

A quick question about modern welded rail if I may - How is temperature expansion and contraction dealt with in this case?
