Q283 (2)

Description:  The 8849 must be there for extra power, as the 4804 is cab-signal equipped, and I'm sure the crew would much prefer it to the drafty ex-Con, but I'm not complaining.

Mechanical Difficulties
Title:  Mechanical Difficulties
Description:  Though not outwardly apprent, the trailing SD70AC (4793) of Q425 has sufferred a major mechanical problem and is howling loud enough to be heard for at least 3 miles in each direction and almost drown out the 4733's horn. I don't know the specifics of the problem, but it sounded somewhere along the lines of a blown turbocharger.
