Fifteen Tonner

CPKC 2-411-28 wields 15k tons and 11,200 feet of train outta Moose Jaw after 6 hours of work in C yard. The crew is desperate to make their 10 hours into Swift Current with a little RTC help, but as they climb out of Chaplin, CP 7014 and the middle distributed KCM 4078 are struggling to pull 25 mph on an FTO-free crank into Notch 8.

 

The grade and size of train is well visualized here as they approach Ernfold East, with the last cut of tanks emerging into view, noticeably at a lower elevation than the head-end foreground.
