2/21/09: Norfolk Southern HOT intermodal train 21M (Croxton, NJ - Chicago, IL) makes a run for the hill as it goes 2-3 at ALTO, and knocks down the ex-PRR signal for SLOPE (237). From here on out the train will battle the 1.74% westward grade from SLOPE to Horseshoe Curve, and is heard blowing for the S. 10th Ave grade crossing around the bend in the distance, known by railfans as "The Brickyard".
Road Power:
C40-9W 9278 / SD70M-2 2768 / C40-9W 9218
