Surprise on the Buchanan

Creeping up on the loadout track, NS helper set J77 guides a loaded train of met-coal past the unique signal setup at CP Pine Oaks. Originally intending to shoot a light engine U52 here, this loaded coal train was a nice treat. This J77 was tied onto the rear of a U60 job that had just finished loading at the Clintwood JOD facility just around the curve. The J77 crew was helping U60 clear the main so U52 could pass. Once hanging the EOT on the rear for the U60 crew, J77 would follow U52 south to Weller and tie up for the day.
