By:Fred Stuckmann
Dates:9/19/2009 - 9/19/2009
Album Info:In over 2 years I had never heard it run or see it move. That would change today as the unit proved that it was more than a "No go showboat". Pulling a sizeable cut of stone hoppers up a 1% sustained grade. Thank you Bob Rohal for the heads up on the schedule.

Pulling past the unloading facility.
Title:  Pulling past the unloading facility.
Description:  Notice the sand being applied to the rail. Earlier Bob fixed that sander and pre-sanded this rail. Morning dew and weeds make for a difficult pull. Especially up a 1% grade with all stone loads. Average sized cut they receive is 60.
