Rock and Roll!
With the speedometer showing 13 mph, the WSOR F45, 1001, is trying to throw me out of the cab at the critical rock and roll speed, as we head for Slinger on light jointed rail. Once out of the yard limits, it'll be up to 25 mph and a somewhat better ride. At Slinger we will pick up empty hoppers, gons and boxcars, which will give the night train a break from having to stop and do the pickup on their return from Glendale Yard. Those F45's were cool as all heck, but were just too big and heavy for our needs at the time. It was bittersweet to see them go.
