Two Down

"It appears that the 6983 isn't working because its out of fuel."

Harvest season is in full swing along the Wheeling as a set of SD40 variants work to lug a heavy eastbound stone train with freight on the front up the grade just east of Lodi, Ohio. Shortly after this image was taken, the third unit on the train overheated and the fourth unit ran out of fuel, which resulted in the crew having to make multiple attempts to climb the grade east of Creston with just two units.
