NOTHING STRANGE, JUST ONE SWITCH, TRAILING POINT GOING EAST.

IF YOU WERE THE CONDUCTOR, WOULD YOU PREFER TO HANG ON TO THE SIDE OF THE 
CARS COMING OUT OF DYKES FOR TWO AND A HALF MILES BACK TO SUFFERN, OR IN A ( 
HOPEFULLY ) WARM ENGINE.  OH, AND REMEMBER THE TIME FACTOR AT 5 MPH.  OH, AND 
IF THE MOVE WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TOMORROW, IT WILL BE ABOUT 38 DEGREES, AND 
RAINING.  WE COULD THROW IN THE NIGHT FACTOR, WHICH IS WHEN IT IS NORMALLY 
DONE, IF YOU NEED JUST A LITTLE MORE CONVINCING. OH, AND IF YOU RUN OVER ANY 
BODY OR ANY THING, YOU ARE TO BLAME NO MATTER WHAT!

I REST MY CASE.  LOL
