If your mother really wants to make things easy she should close her account while she is alive and distribute the money. It could become difficult unless your mom has a will stipulating that upon her death your brother will get the money from that account and that there is nothing outstanding...

Road engines used on light rail and neglected road beds way to much HP there to switch an industry When I was working road power was often restricted on an industrial siding for that reason

Mr Cairo.....

You can only hack and slash for so long...more customers going to have to truck it

We called them Spine Cars

Sometimes the DP is the beginning of another train so they split them where you see this

^^^^^ Yes....

Slug or Slave unit extra traction motors

The bang before the derailment sounded to me like a bad cushion drawbar collapsing instead of working as it should and it caused a good amount of slack "run in" maybe the engineman used the independent brake. But empty bulkheads can't absorb slack action when being pushed by shorter loaded cars...

Hopefully In The Grip Of A Tyrefitter RIP
