Yes,, every time I get down there, I marvel at the effort the builders put into the design to save some of the more expensive materials. I had wondered why the queen posts used the cross-wise truss rods,, then once the longitudinal truss rods were added, you could see that they could get by with just 2 rods (instead of 4 like a freight car), because the queen posts then support the center of the car.
I guess you'd have to see it to understand what I'm talking about!
Craig, no electricity, we're following the as-built construction fairly closely.. At least not until they add HEP to the locomotives.
