I like to operate a fast freight trains.Its what I rember seeing as a kid.Living here in monroe n.c. and seeing freight train of the seaboard coast line.They took the term fast freights to new hights.When operating a long train some time a coupler would pop open.When that happens you can a train smash into itself.I have had that happen to me.Some times I would see what was about to happen.Cuting the power off fast doesn,t help.The motion would carry it on and WHAM!Train derailment I have to go clean up the mess.Or I would forget I left a switch open lending to a derailment.But most of the time I can operate trains pretty good.I am just glad noone was around to see that.I know alot of guys and girls who had their share of derailment.
