  That is awesome !  I remember reading/hearing stories of hard winter
railroading on the South Park and D&RG when I was a kid.  Brakemen
falling off the train, their bodies found in the spring when the snow
melted, ...  just insanely harsh conditions and equally insane dedication
to the job.  I laugh at how few people would have what it takes to do those
things today, and found inspiration during some rough times when I was
deployed to just buckled down and power through it.

  Thanks for sharing that.  Great stuff.
