2/20/09: NS eastbound domestic container train 26T heads east on the No. 1 Track down the west side of world famous Horseshoe Curve on a VERY cold day in the Alleghenies. But this was only the first half of stacks...so where was the OTHER string of containers? They were busy getting re-railed on the other side of the mountain at NY, MP MP 258.8 at Portage, PA after a hot wheel broke clear off the axle and cut up the tracks for 4 miles before finally jumping the rails at 258. NS and RJ Corman MoW crews were on the scene, and track 1 remained closed between SO and MO for the better part of 2 days. Shot on the NS Pittsburgh Line.
26T Road Power:
C40-9W 9972 / ex-CR C40-8W 8443
