Dragging the hill
Title:  Dragging the hill
Description:  The profile on the Heavener Sub has a lot of up and down, though most of it is unremarked-Rich Mountain farther south gets all the attention, but there are some good pulls here, too. Such is the case here at Davidson Rd north of Siloam, where the tracks are coming out of long dip. The pull is taxing the three four motor units as they lug 66 cars south to Watts.
