Meh. Not a giant feat. Lightest freight engine I've been on was 395,000lbs. Train behind it was at least 2,000 tons. Often 10,000 tons or more. I've put 3 of those on the ground. North American railroad companies really should worry less about stock prices and more about track maintenance. Fuck PSR.
+1 Fuck PSR... ANY railroad worker that gets to enjoy PSR first hand will agree. PSR = precision scheduled railroading (fancy way to "cut costs" ALL THE WAY TO THE BONE... looks great on paper)
I was a Teamster for 25 years and saw countless guys fired. It was the only job I ever had that once I made my probation, I wondered every day if it was going to be my last day.
