A B875 crew was called at 0830 on Thursday at Keyser, WV to switch out the cars for plastic bag manufacturer in the Keyser Industrial Park. Only problem was their was no power at Keyser for them to use. A taxi ride to Cumberland to get a locomotive... only problem was the 1st. unit they were given had PTC issues and the "powers to be" wouldn't let them leave Cumberland without active PTC... so back to the shops for another unit.

1) and 2) B875-15... Take 2 .... 1510 hous .... B875-15 on the "single main" in Cumberland, MD near Beall Street heading west to Keyser.

CSX #8134 SD40-2 built 09/1981 as LN #8134
