Sloppy Slog
Another look back to a warm sloppy winter chase that was short but fun and high yield.
A monster Canadian National train 324 with 106L/6E 13,959 tons & 7,350 ft is southbound on New England Central Railroad's (ex CV) Swanton Sub at about MP 14.1. The head end is about 3/4 of a mile south of the 3800 ft long wooden trestle, but the rear end is still strung out over the lake so they are continuing to crawl at the prescribed 5 mph beside VT Route 78 on a wet snowy Sunday morning.
Leading the train are CN 3020 (GE ET44AC blt 2015), 2921 (GE ES44AC blt 2015), 3893 (GE ES44AC blt 2019 wearing the 100th anniversary logo).
