    Helpful. Presuming FEA is stressing, and there will be a fluids analysis to help with valve events... If so, timing the valves for optimum flow through the ports, probably the first time anyone has ever done that for steam. That alone will...

    There are multiple "hard engineering" solutions in the cutting north of Toddington on both sides now; certainly on the up side it's quite clearly been a case of failure, retaining wall, failure on the next bit, retaining wall on the next bit etc...

    Geotechnical engineering knowledge was approximately zero in that day and age, basically. E.g. I seem to recall, in the original Chicken Curve repair, that when they dug down, the found a buried grass layer; the earth of the original embankment...
