Unloading the Chief
Making the first pull off the Chief Wawatam on September 10, 1981 is SOO 4414 and 4427 at St. Ignace. If the boat was fully loaded the units and train would end up blocking State Street(the main street of St. Ignace) so the crews would normally take a couple cuts off the boat and pull over State street and shove back into the lakefront yard and then return for the last two cuts off the boat.
