Eastern Railroad Discussion > B770 to the Rescue - 15 July 2019

N750-15 arrived at Keyser, WV to pick up 65 additional loads before continuing east to Cumberland, MD. During the shove out of the east yard a car was noticed with a serve flat spot. It was decided to remove the car and spot in where the car shop crew could replace the offending wheelset at a later date.

1) Since the road crew was short on time and the bad order was 40 cars deep in their cut, B770-15 was called to assist. N750 shoved the bad order car and the rest of the original train west to clear the OS giving enough room for B770 to couple onto the car. N750 would then pull east clearing the plant allowing B770 to cross over from track #1, couple to the bad order and drag it into the east yard.

2) With the Bad Order Car in the east yard, the N750-14 crew double up their train. At this point the crew has less than an hour to work, just enough time to taxi to Cumberland.The B770-15 crew will now protect the N750 and take it into Cumberland.

3) N750-14 eastbound at Bowling Green, MD with the B770-15 crew.
