Re: (erielack) NS office car special on the Southern Tier
Unless they were using armor piercing ammo, I doubt there were any holes in the fuel tanks.

There was a shooting incident involving this train earlier this year
in Ohio. I believe all the F unit fuel tanks were holed by gunfire.
Also, while it was in Georgia, NS had ALL mainline switches spiked
until it could pass. NS is not a popular entity with anyone, it would
seem.
