Pete, Try getting forced to the test train out of North St Louis that worked
about 5 hours a day and staying in a wooden waycar with no AC. We were testing
brakes and rigging for a factory out of Granite City, Illinois, American
Standard I think . We would run the train up to 80 mph and drop the test cars
and they would do their testing. The car had a see through glass floor. We used
a passenger engine. We didn't even make FTD. $19.97 a day in 1966..I remember
section men would flag the crossings we were running the tests over. I have a
nice picture of this train on the Ft Bellefontaine Bridge over the Missouri
River: if anyone would like to view I would put it in our group files. Archie
