For me..but not before they took the last bit of energy out of me for the week. I spent the day hauling all of the major players for Amtrak and Caltrans and every major agency that handles anything Amtrak up here for a joyride on this, our newest toy. Am I impressed? The stuff runs well enough, but lak the visual impression our California cars make...but they will do for a few years to add capacity to our fleet while we wait for our new order of cars to show up....

712 at Modesto, I get on a bit south, at Merced....
