As mentioned in the article, their Big Boy (UP4018) will be the move to keep you eye on. I know I will.

On another note..... After looking at their Frisco site plans, I can tell you one thing. I'd HATE to have to switch that yard! Everything is on a curve.

I was told by one of the MoTARR reps in January that most of the budget needed was for the purchase of panel track, and that they had the transport budget together a couple of years ago to actually move the equipment.

Its difficult to move all your equipment when you have no track to put your equipment on after it is moved.

I'm glad I'm not working there any more... the place I'm at now has a few small curves that tend to kill me every almost every time. I can't imagine trying to make knuckles line up on curves like that!
