Trip to take place in the AM, but exact time unknown. Special move with A&A equipment.
EMC SW switcher Baldwin 4-4-750 switcher CNJ 40' boxcar RDG NE caboose EL bay window caboose 2 coaches. All but EL caboose are friction bearing. Should be quite a move!

With a monsoon in the forecast, definitely need to dress for the weather.

Date: 12/08/14 17:37 Re: Special move tomorrow (Tues) from Reading to Topton Author: Gonut1 So how did they get these friction bearings past the car inspectors? Special dispensation for the Holidays?

dschlegel, No idea honestly...You'd think so but it could be an overall special move to not tie up the local for a while. Who knows... Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/08/14 20:05 by 03wrxguy.

Who knows... Thanks!! Dan Posted from iPhone Date: 12/09/14 03:58 Re: Special move tomorrow (Tues) from Reading to Topton Author: Rswinnerton It will be a special move due to the friction bearings. Friction bearings can be moved on a class 1 railroad, however it can't be a revenue move.
