Units

[NW Mailing List]

Every time they run south with pushers on a loaded coal train they end up  
with extra power that needs to be ferried back to Roanoke. If they run two 
or  more trains a day it can add pretty quickly.

This is  common on the pumpkin vine from Winston-Salem. It is not 
unusual to see  surplus power being brought back to Roanoke on these 
trains. I find it  interesting that they end up with so many extra 
engines in Winston-Salem  that they need to bring them  back all at 
one time in a big block  like that.
