Remarks & Notes |
CN 2263 provides DPU support for a northbound grain train at Byron, WI. Byron hill is the ruling grade southbound between Fond Du Lac, WI and Chicago, but this northbound train is more concerned about keeping the train at a steady descent as it approaches North Fond Du Lac yard for a crew change. The hill was a bottle neck for predecessor Wis. Central, so was double tracked prior to CN's acquisition. |
