Paul asked: > Here's something that's always puzzled me: The EL got the huge tanks to run non-stop, Croxton-Chicago. Most of the Western roads had long routes as well - why didn't they opt for larger fuel tanks so they had to make less fueling stops? > Aren't the tanks on the modern units much larger? 5-6,000 gals? Maybe EL was just ahead of its time? SGL ------------------------------
