Maybe that's why, when I chased/photographed the train from Burlington to 
Washington and back in 1973, I had to kill a lot of time. After 8 years of LM 
maintenance, almost the entire line was limited to 15 mph. I have a telephoto 
slide looking down/up the track near Sperry where the rails look so twisted 
that 15 mph sounds foolhardy!
