That could       be either as a light ring around the speedometer or a digital readout.              On SEPTA's P&W line, the cars have a ring of lights. One can see       the ring change faster or slower as the train moves along.              Sometimes an NJT NEC train has the cab door open and one can watch       the cab signals and speedometer.              --- SoupGate/W32 v1.03        * Origin: LiveWire BBS -=*=- UseNet FTN Gateway (1:2320/1)    |
