1,015 Miles On $16 Of Fuel — The Train That Executed The Steam Locomotive
Cab Forward
I really enjoy listening to this guy. I presume it's a guy, not a computer, but these days there is no telling. He makes the story a little more dramatic than he needs to, but drama seems to be very popular, so I can understand him doing that. For me, the simple mathematical facts are plenty, but half of the country is innumerate, so, drama. The narrator does a good job with the facts and I appreciate it. This train really really forged a new path. That's what happens when someone with money is willing to bet on some whiz kids to design a new, improved, machine. It was ahead of its time, but it wasn't just a prototype test machine, it ran for 26 years and that, to me, is the more impressive part of the story.
