&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Re: CN Turbo Train blog.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;After the battle on your web blog, I wrote a paper on the Bering Strait Crossing and the QUADRAIL TRAINS. I have posted the paper on my website home page &lt;a href="http://www.quadrail.org"&gt;http://www.quadrail.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click &amp;quot;Now Available&amp;quot; blue star, If you&amp;#39;re interested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This ends my involvement with the Project Proposal. I did send a printed copy of my paper to the Russian Federation Ambassador to the United States a few weeks ago, however, I doubt that I&amp;#39;ll get a reply.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thanks for the words of encouragement! I&amp;#39;m not using the blog anymore after my run-in with &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Heckle and Jeckle&amp;quot; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;on your CN TURBO TRAIN VIDEO blog. Anmccaff appears to be shallow in his thinking. The QUADRAIL&amp;nbsp;HO&amp;nbsp;model container rail car that I built was just for illustration purposes. It contains three rows of two, 20&amp;#39; long,&amp;nbsp;containers (6 total) on a model of a QUADRAIL 52&amp;#39; flatcar. It is for comparison to a standard gauge flatcar that only holds two, 20&amp;#39; long, containers. A QUADRAIL version of a Gunderson 48&amp;#39;, Double Stack, Well Car would hold three rows of two 20&amp;#39; long, or one 40&amp;#39; long containers on the bottom, plus three rows of 40&amp;#39;, 45&amp;#39; or 48&amp;#39; long containers on the top. This works out to the equivalent of twelve 20&amp;#39; long containers, which is three times the capacity of a standard gauge Gunderson 48&amp;#39; long Double Stack Well Car.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The other issues could be addressed but &amp;quot;Heckle and Jeckle&amp;quot; are not worth the time to explain to them. While in the military, in 1973, the base commander addressed the QPEC problem to the entire base. It hasn&amp;#39;t gone away!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Heckle and Jeckle&amp;quot; are professional naysayers. Nothing will change them!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your input!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bill&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
