On the fuel for the bridge question: Wasn't this bridge discussed at one of the eastern spring meeting? Maybe I'm getting confused, but I thought it was stated that it was Steam Operated, via coal, and it was the bridge operators chore to keep the small bin up on the bridge full? Pete Hasler might be the one to ask. Maybe it was the meeting with all the dispatchers, because I remember them stating the bridge operator had to be steam boiler qualified, and in the end there was only three guys, and they could never get a day off because there was no one to fill in for them. I have copied this to a few friends for a possible fuel answer. Bob ------------------------------
