      Did FL-9s normally run under their own power or on the 3rd rail in the       Park Avenue tunnel?              I seem to remember that they run under their own power in the tunnel,       regardless of regulations.              The P32s run under 3rd rail, I know, and you can hear the engine       spooling up as the train approaches the portal.              On the Fl-9s, however, the engineer had to go into the engine room to       spool up. So, assuming that they ran on the 3rd rail, how did they       change over without having to come to a full stop somewhere?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
