I don't like the idea of crewless trains. Remote-control switching is one thing (I still don't like it, but...), but running trains on the mainline w/o a crew? That's too dangerous. If I've learned anything it's to NEVER TRUST COMPUTERS OR COMPUTER-CONTROLLED DEVICES.

A train without a crew will end up causing more accidents. I garuntee (sp?) you that something will fail, and there will be a major crash.

My opinion of this is the same as yours. I know computers and I haven't seen one yet that can't foul up.

The first one looks like a GP 40 (or something very similar, but is a geep). While the other appears to be an SD40.

The first one is a GP40-3, the second one, I'm not sure about, but I think it's another GP40.
