6/24/09: After getting off of Amtrak 07T in Altoona and picking up the Domino's and breaking into the breadbowl pasta, the 23M was heard in Altoona talking to the 6300, which along with the 6306 would be the helper giving the 23M its push up the hill. About 15 minutes later the sound of that constant EMD roar was heard as the 23M rounded the corner and slammed westbound over the S. 10th Ave grade crossing, better known as "The Brickyard". The SD40-E's may not be SD40-2's...but hey, when the helper switch on the mountain is complete...I'll take em!!
