1-1-11 finds the first Mulberry job of the year with a little bit of history repeating. CP once had a runthru agreement that had all of the Soo Line SD60's cycle thru the BV from 1997 thru 2005, not to mention a host of other items from CPRS. Today's train takes me back to those days, having run overnight into Mulberry as K83328. Train had 68 cars coming in & O836 picked up a bunch more, making for a monster of a Bone Valley (BV) local crossing the Valrico Subdivision at grade right in the middle of SR 37 in downtown Mulberry. |
