Sunshine And Shadows
After bringing loads down to the runaround and shoving empties back up to spot at the loadout on the Wells-Lamson Spur, the WACR returned back downhill light engine and have just coupled up to their train on the west end of the 900 ft siding here at MP MP 10.9 on the Montpelier and Barre Division. They are getting ready to carefully shove seven loads (the maximum permitted by rule) down the steep grade to the lower switchback, where they will reverse direction then continue the descent off Millstone Hill into the city of Barre. The assigned power on the line is green GMRC 804 (a GP9r blt. Oct. 1955 as NW 13) and red VTR 206 (a GP38-3 206 blt. Oct. 1969 as SOU 2718 and originally a high nosed straight GP38).
