B&O SD50 arriving at Raceland, KY in January 1985
Author: Gateway97

We followed this guy from Chillicothe, Ohio (on the scanner) to Raceland, KY. in January 1985. He had DEEX aluminum gon empties. He passed HV95 at Limeville, KY but otherwise had a clear run with almost no meets that I can recall.

No doubt that the engineer was POed because he only had one unit, thus did not get an extra 65 cents, or so, arbitrary for additional engine weight.

And that was really common on Chessie, at least in Ohio- the one unit empty coal or manifest.
