On Sunday morning we broke camp and headed down to Cumberland,MD. 3 EMD SD-60 Demos(1,2,and4) were headed west on the Mountain Sub. with an empty hopper train for Grafton. Willard 99 with the GP-30s was headed for Sandpatch. Decisions,Decisions!!!! Our Ohio contingent chased the Demos, but I opted to head back up to Foley on the Patch for Willard 99. I was happy with my decision!
