Posted by Jeff Swanson on August 4, 2014  They didn't pull that whole train up the hill at Newaygo did they? Posted by Red Eddie on August 14, 2014  I bet they doubled it Jeff, unless they rolled into the valley a little hot to make the pull........perish the thought. Posted by Steven Mckay on August 15, 2014  It was nothing but empties. They pulled right up the hill with no problems. Posted by Jeff Swanson on August 16, 2014  That's still pretty good Steve. When it was CSX, I had an (authorized) cab-ride. We had 45 potash loads and two ex-Conrail SD-50's coming NB out of the bottom - they were on their knees and barely made 10 mph.... didn't think we'd make it.
