I enjoyed the movie, I think it caught the personalities that you see on the railroad, with the exception of the yardmaster chic and the FRA guy.

Management was covered well.

Is Denzel a believable HAWG? Most HAWG's I've known are interchangable with action figures.

Actually, I think so. A proud man, proud of his trade. Interesting to see how he was able to change into a brakeman of the early years. Going up top.

Seeing it fresh would help, not the same if you've seen it.

SummiTwelve?  Hmmm.  When?  Where?  Have to see about vacation scheduling, plan ahead.

Use the dynamic and use power but use that independent, too. Move that automatic brake handle back and forth a few times, there, that ought to stop it.

I watched, "My Name is Earl", I knew his brother wasn't no HAWG!

 They coulda made it more believeable by having a high backed seat swiveling around and knocking the throttle back to channel 8.....
