Modern times / modern equipment

[FCIN]

Reinhard;

This is really great and sure gives a person plenty of food for thought.

Nothing wrong at all with the first photo where you have two boxes spotted on the short track, but man oh man, when you get into dealing with modern well cars, centerbeam's, autoracks (both standard 89ft and the new articulated ones over 100ft) and of course larger motive power you really are looking at space eating equipment!

Handling well cars? Take a look at the NS Delaplain facility at the Toyota plant in Georgetown, KY.http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.26...5&t=k&z=17. The Google image is just of the container handling area. Look around at the rest of it.

I wouldn't have any idea how to deal with all this bigger equipment on an ISL. Wonder how many others have discovered what you are clearly demonstrating here? Glad I'm still in the late 70's to early 80's!!

Look's like it's time to start your thread comparing the 60's, 70's and most of the 80's to today!!!
