The locomotive factory:
-
FORT WORTH, Texas — For as loud as it is inside, what happens at this Fort Worth factory has kind of been kept quiet.
- “We’re up here next to the NASCAR track,” said Patrick Wiltrout, vice president of manufacturing quality at Wabtec.
- This facility, formerly known as GE Transportation, is one of two in the nation that assembles locomotives.
- Wabtec has a million square feet at State Highway 114 and I-35W near the Texas Motor Speedway.
- “This is your diesel engine that powers the locomotive,” Wiltrout said standing next to a massive, newly refurbished V16 engine.
- The factory opened in 2013 and now employs 800 people.
“I’ve been told you can power almost a residential block off the electricity that a single locomotive can produce,” he continued.

Avatar: link here. We'll be seeing this movie tomorrow night, 6:00 p.m. A local Schwab office reserved the entire theater for its clients.
Schwab: integration of TD Ameritrade with Schwab begins in January, 2023.
- each tranch will occur over a three-day holiday at which time, TD Ameritrade accounts moving over to Schwab will be "frozen" or something to that effect:
- first three-day holiday / "black-out period" -- the first 500,000 accounts
- second three-day holiday / "black-out period" -- the next 3 million accounts
- third three-day holiday / "black-out period" -- the next 3 million accounts
- final three-day holiday / "black-out period" -- the rest.
