Sorry to be a bit late to the party, but I just can't keep up these days. Dick, you wrote:

...why doesn't anyone (SHPO or rail-fans) object to the ugly, mall-parking-lot, overhead lights outside each end of the engine shop?

I can't answer for the SHPO, but the topic has certainly been addressed here and in other places. "Strip mall lights" is a term I've often used when discussing these things.

We tend to focus on individual issues as they come up and turn hot - thus the recent flap over 489 - but it's the big picture which concerns many of us, and those lights are certainly part of that picture.

Thanks, as always, for your thoughts on this topic.

Scott
