And it won't be too long before the trains will be operated by the dispatchers strictly by remote control, no crews at all. My now retired FRA man was telling me it wasn't far away. There was a mine railroad in Ohio in the 70's that did this, so it isn't impossible. I just wonder how many amps the DCC booster pack will require.
