It's December of 1995, and the Portland Power Plant or MetEd, is in full operation. Winter is a electricity-dependent time of year as thousands of residents heat their homes electrically. To produce such a high amount of power, there is only one option. Burn coal. Go back in time and watch as a Consolidated-Rail or "Conrail" coal train struggles up the Portland Secondary with five vintage EMD units against the mighty forces of winter. The full chase in in the works. Stay tuned for more! -------------- Disclaimer: The music and the photos at the beginning are not mine.
