Q512 (Radnor, TN - Avon, IN) has a treat today, as it is being led by Norfolk Southern's Nickel Plate Road heritage locomotive. The crew has had a rough go of it so far as the locomotives are out of sand, greatly slowing things down on the nine miles of 0.9% grade up from Goodlettville. And to top things off the train will be over tonnage for the power assigned to it after the crew makes a ten car pickup at forty miles north of here at Casky, KY. |
