Engineer Jim Metzger, 42, flicks his eyes like beacons from digital screens inside his cab to the roadbed and back -- right hand on the throttle controlling 11,400 horses, left hand on the three-tone whistle, two longs, a short and a long at every crossing.

An additional 26 applications from wannabe airlines are pending at the Department of Transportation, and about...
...police barricades and past a crowd of onlookers, some chanting "Go to hell!" Getting him to come out required 20 hours of painstaking negotiations, partly about where he would go. Abdel Rahman wanted to be driven in his own car to New Jersey, to turn himself in at the Newark offices of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The feds wanted him to surrender at INS headquarters in Manhattan. They compromised on a firehouse across the street from the mosque, where the sheik entered an INS van and was driven to a federal facility in Otisville, New York, about 75 miles...
