        Again it was about right now that I realized how fast the downhill trains were actually going. It was interesting too, because on the western slope it is rare to see anyone, uphill or down, to be making speeds in excess of 20 mph. So note for the future, eb downhill trains are movin!!  (IE no chasing ahead to the next siding)
