It won't be long till they call for more power as Kings increases their output. Maybe another unit?

I don't think King will be able to handle more cars at one time than a single GP38-2 can pull out of GR for the foreseeable future.dave989 wrote:It won't be long till they call for more power as Kings increases their output. Maybe another unit?

GLLX 1512 left 4 cars (empty plastic hopper, empty soybean hopper and 2 loaded rubber chip hoppers) at the interchange for CSX in Hartford this evening. Sounds like there are many more soybean hoppers enroute.

Z151 is making noise in Comstock Park, sounds like it's southbound
If it's the same power as Tuesday, then it should be the TPW rocket pop, 3389, 3407 and 2040

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
