Re: (erielack) CX-99 etc.

63rd St is still not a very good area. When I drove for JB Hunt, our rail 
ramp guide had a note warning of the dangerous nature of the neighborhood, 
and saying that road drivers were not to be sent to that yard if it was in 
any way avoidable. I don't recall if there were many UPS trailers there or 
not-I always got in and got out as fast as I could, and theirs were not 
parked near ours anyway. I know Willow Springs is HUGE!! They have their own 
entrance to the Santa Fe intermodal yard there-the yards are adjacent.
