Eastern Railroad Discussion > A 3, 1, *, 8 kind of day - 07 February 2020Date: 02/08/20 13:47 A 3, 1, *, 8 kind of day - 07 February 2020 Author: DTWilson Three (3) of the trains we caught on Friday had #3100 series leaders with their number ending in 8.... hence it was a 3,1,*, 8 day....
1) #3148 leader of B875-07 on the west end of a 80 car loaded coal drag departing Keyser, WV for the Mt Storm power station. 2) #3158 on Q316-05 gets smoked out by the power on U051 shoving on the other end of the Mt Storm Drag. 3) #3178 leader on E740-06 with 3 other motors and 210 empty hoppers at 21st. Bridge Rd., MD. They would reduce tonnage by 80 cars at Keyser, WV before continuing west to Grafton. Tim W.
