Doubling in the snow
A Chicago and North Western coal train heads west at Pewaukee, Wisconsin in a January 22, 1995 snowstorm. This train is on the Soo Line (former Milwaukee Road) main line and the train stalled going up Brookfield Hill because of the slick conditions. It is operating westbound on the normally eastbound main because it is doubling (dividing the train in two and operating the each section to the top of the grade independently) and is pulling the second section to the end of double track at Pewaukee. It will then back onto the first section that is currently parked on the westbound track. Quite an operation in the snow for the crew, and surely makes a mess of the railroad. |
