Re: $70,000 Grant

I would definitely rull out 489 operation in '05. There is no question the railroad would love to have that fourth engine in operation--and that will come. But, for now, three will be a blessing as it's the first time in several years that they can return to the daily schedule of the past years. And the plus is that all three engines will be in by far the best shape they've been in years. As a side to that, it was really quite alarming how much less coal the engines burn after they're overhauled. It just shows how long they have been running at less than top efficiency.
