This is done so when the crew reaches the end of the push, they just uncouple and drift back down the hill in forward. I remember the first time I saw this on Crawfod Hill in Nebraska. What I thought was the leading unit, of a three unit set, was showing red classification lights. Later,
I realized that the consist was running in reverse and the lights were for the downhill run. Thanks for posting. Nick Tharalson, Marion, IA Date: 06/29/20 10:01 Re: EL near East Stroudsburg, PA. Author: Lackawanna484 The GP also has a clearly visible poling pocket at the top of the steps.
