Here's part 1 of yesterday's interesting chase of the H76! The power was a total of six all EMD units. (A GP38-2, 2 GP40-2s, and 3 SD40-2s) Behind them- 73 loaded cars bound for the DL in Portland. With the throttle pushed to the max, the engineer pulls the heavy train out of the grade and into the 10mph zone in Mt Bethel, PA.

PS: Note that the 2nd unit is 3381! She was put on a train that headed into Fort Erie, Canada, and I thought she was gone for good! Now she's back at home where she belongs!

Music used in the intro is Legends Of The Rails, by James Brian Coffey.
