    You have your orders. Get busy WDI!

    I don't recall that there was any type of a stop at the PM level.

    I especially liked the purple colored scheme. Whether they actually go for that color .. remains to be seen.

    Interesting how a country like India (once considered a Third World country) can do this ... But not the so called "Good Ole US of A!"

    Yup ... we are falling behind the rest of the world.

    ImgineerBob, I am well aware that they'll have to re-do the whole thing from scratch. That's inevitable should they ever decide to actually DO SOMETHING with the track. I say, whatever they've got to do to put up something new and awesome.

    What I liked about it as a kid was that, because it didn't have stair steps like an escalator, it seemed to have small wheels on the extreme sides that the rubber rolled over. If you put your feet right next to the edge, you got a little "foot massage."

    Just one of those little extras DL would give you for your D-ticket! :)
