I believe this was the one and only time an LRC locomotive was used on the Northland. The engine crew being from another seniority district had never run one before, and had some teething problems with it. The main difference being that you couldn't power brake because the throttle went back to idle whenever the brake was set. So this threw their stopping judgement off somewhat, and let's just say that at one point they stopped a little farther north than they had planned.
