She was helping things along. The rolling terrain was a bit much for 4501 with that many cars. I was in car 3 and could hear the engineer work 4501 as much as he could before the train would begin to slow and he would use 3170 to help. I heard 4501 working more than the diesel though. I was not disappointed by it being there.

Tomorrow's route up to Bulls Gap appeals more to the Southern Ry fans. Sunday back to Radford.

Two, Offering three trips in the same location. Three, Passengers have to be selective on which trips to sign up for due to overall expenses. As the old saying goes, "Money don't grow on trees folks!".
