1) I015-12 comes westbound along Lock-House Road outside Cumberland, 2) By the time I015's DPU passes us, the snow has picked up.... 3) It was warm earlier in the week, so the snow melts on contact ..... We hear L162-10 approaching Cumberland so we head over to the Single Main .... .... More to Follow ....    Date: 03/19/23 17:21 Re: It Started Out Good, Then It Snowed .... 12 March 2023 Author: DTWilson 1) L162-10 on the Freight Track entering the yard at Cumberland. The power for L162 is the same from L165-10 from yesterday. All the Grafton, WV engine terminal did was turn the leader for today's train.
2) Another veteran spotted.... 3) With the snow slacking off, our last catch of the day is I015 pulling thru the signals at Viaduct Junction in Cumberland to make their set off. Thank you, Tim W.
