Mass City MI on the E&LS II

Unread post by Cucorailfan »

Had a chance to head out to Mass City today. The E&LS brought in 28 empties and hauled out 22 loads. Traffic seems to have normalized to once a week now. ELS 402, an ex-conrail GP38, had to work pretty hard to pull all those loads up the hill out of McKeever... almost thought there was an Alco on the point :D

Heading south out of Mass City, rounding the curve in McKeever. Note the old Copper Range RR grade in the background.

Good to see the GP38's at work but with that many loads seems the SD40-2's would handle the job a little better
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...
