[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] I'm sorry Mr Kisor, but I must disagree. Silver Streak II is a complete absurdity. Anyone who has done any time in the industry (eleven years in my case) does not appreciate the array of rules violations, such as. walking atop cars, swinging from overhead signals like a monkey, and uncoupling cars "on the fly' - all of which the movie depicts. Further, those persons who crash through car windows making their "great escape' are not aware that such are equipped with glass to avoid such. In the crash scene at the end, it is interesting how we move from the approach to C&NW station to Toronto - by osmosis I guess. Of further interest, the Illinois State Police never had a livery for squad cars such as depicted. The movie is an utter abomination, and I have not recommended viewing such to anyone. The wisest move Amtrak ever made was to have no part in the production of such (I must acknowledge I am astounded Canadian Pacific was willing to step up with even uncredited production assistance). But then, I'm a former railroad accountant and labor relations officer who is well versed in the potential liability of anything that happens on railroad property. You are an author of railroad subjects, and I guess to the laity that kind of stuff "sells'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
