L&N on B48-01 |
| Description: |
After talking to the dispatcher, the engineer throttles up past the Depot in "Downtown" Wells. Only four cars today, but it nearly got much worse. The conductor informed the dispatcher that the "empties" on the train were indeed loads, and that they might need to be setout. Luckily, the outcome was for them to continue East with them, or else this would have likely been my only shot. |

With dynamics howling, two SD40-2's coax their 9000 plus ton train down the steep grade, nearing 7th St. I hadn't marked this shot off my "places to shoot" list before this, so I figured with power like this it would be the wise decision today. |
