Oops. Guess I was thinking about the City of New Orleans train. As a kid in grammar school, we used to stop classes to watch the "streamliner" pass on the nearby railroad tracks. School was in a small community a few miles south of PIcayune.

Picayune was the town near New Orleans where the northbound old steam freight trains would switch from one to two locomotives before facing the hills there and on to the MidWest. Perfectly flat from there to New Orleans for southbound trains.

Now back to BRK related discussions.
