Cowan-2013
"My oh my things was different back in 2013" CSX Q211-01 (Louisville,KY-Dixiana,SC) is slowly creeping pass the old Cowan Yard which is now the helper pocket for the pushers (MP J-86.4 Middle Cowan). While the northbound CSX Q580-01 is waiting in the east passing track for everything to clear up, the pusher M298-02 is making it's way north out of the west 1 track for the north-end of the siding. Mean time CSX Q211 is going to have to clear the north-end, which mean they will have to block Cumberland St. in town by the depot for ex amount of time to get the pusher couple up on the rear, and do a break test before 8,400hp for four motor will be put to the challenge to move 10,000ft long train over the grueling Cumberland Plateau. We're about a year from the ground breaking of what is going to be progress in the making when it comes to railroading on this side of the mountain.
