I'm not sure that speed of unloading tells us anything. If they have
some sort of quick tension release and a dozen guys just releasing then
they could go pretty fast.

I wonder if we have any posters that have actually seen them load cars

in a trans-pacific trip? I mean an ordinary storm could cause them to
slide? Unless they are on tracks or something.

Yeah, I wonder. I watched them unload cars in Benecia, CA, but only
from the outside. They drove them out so fast that I don't see how in
hell they could tie them down! I don't even know how in hell they
didn't wreck alot!
