    I could always just switch to on duty and drive around the truck stop or whatever. It wouldn't kick you into driving unless you went over 5 miles away. Not 5 miles per hour, but 5 miles. But, if it did switch over it would start the drive time from when you first started moving.

    That was with Omnitracs but I suppose it depends on how the company configures it.

    Good thing you don’t have students anymore. It will be a rough night in the sleeper

    they had split 6 open top cars full of pipe from the rest of the train to pull them into a yard that stocks the casing, it's a huge yard with thousands of loads of that coated 6 inch thin wall stuff used for completing oil and gas wells. the intersection into that yard is where the derailment occurred, main line was blocked until they repaired the tracks to get those six cars into the yard.

    Amazing how they couldn’t win a Grammy with Lionel, and he couldn’t win one with them. o_O
