Remarks & Notes |
The sun pokes out for just a second during an otherwise rainy day as J78 keeps air on the first cut of coal loads. Just down the holler, U53 floodloads the second cut at the loadout known to the railroad as Consol.
If you look closely, you can see my friend Bobby Lowe watching us from the engineer seat. While this job may not seem like much, each move up at Consol is very tricky and takes an experienced crew at both ends of the train as the grade here is over 2%
