I know, right? How in the heck does he use the steering wheel to keep the locomotive centered on the track?:wink-new:
 
I know it's a myth that the U.S. Postal Service has a slogan: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds." In our case, snow stopped that swift appointed round today. But then our usual carrier calls in sick all the time.

When our carrier (rural delivery) calls in sick, we always get a substitute. But the substitute doesn't know the area, and ... well ... it's not pretty.

Back when I was young and worked the fields of ancient Persia, this describes our postal system:

It is said that as many days as there are in the whole journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed course with all speed.

Impressive.

A little ice stopped one of ours this morning not too far from us. Apparently the locomotive hit some ice and motored slowly off the rails, stopping across one of the main road intersections in town. Fortunately the (RR) speed limit on that section of track was only 10 mph.

The RR involved is Pan Am. Still in business after all these years.
