I remember watching a westbound CNW manifest roll by me in Dixon, Illinois one summer with 210 cars. That was in '67 so I doubt that all were easy-rollers.

Pull the train into a track, pull out the other end, cut away from the mids and shove the head end of the train into another track. Date: 09/06/19 18:53 Re: Here's a PSR Train for Ya!

They loaded this train up in El Paso, Tx. Thats the new operating plan bigger trains which isn't a bad idea. This is a PSR train. CS |
