DPU trains (was Re: Thunder on Blue Ridge)

[NW Mailing List]

This is interesting... As the Helpers on the Pokey are manned by one 
person I believe.

Something else to think about, Railroads are actually Federally 
regulated to a certain degree (not sure what, other then I know that 
VA's "Right to work" does not apply as the RRs may force you to join a 
union.)

Perhaps the federal regulation has something to do with it?

That is sometimes the case, and I suppose I should have thought to check before I began to finish this note.
