It was nice to see Skykomish and Laramie again; I've missed them both--and what a killer-bee car show in Fort Madison! Thank you for letting us see so many of the participants. Loved the thunder and the power moves (why do they always happen in Fort Madison?), the Via was beautiful the trash panda was cute, and that old Operation Lifesaver engine just blew me away. Another terrific grab bag--thank you!

They need more power in Kansas City to head west as prior to there the heaviest grades are a 5 mile 1.1in Illinois called Edelstein hill and then 6 miles of .8 miles near Marceline MO the rest is pretty much flat.

Okay big question. I've seen twelve or more power units either by themselves or pulling a line of freight. Then I've seen maybe only one, two or three pulling the same line of freight. Why so many unless they are returning them back to a beginning destination.
