Meet at Moran

The date is June 1991 as crews from two trains exchange greetings while the sound of dynamic braking can be heard as the 4612 south decends the heavy 2.8% grade meeting the Budd Car at Moran. The patrol for #1 can be seen sitting at the top end of the siding just ahead of the Budd Car as the southbound's train of green BCOL boxcars pass by.

BCR's initial order of GE Dash 8-40CM's have just recently replaced the MLW's as mainline power.

This is the way it was. Now, the RDC's and the little yellow speeder are gone, most of those green boxcars have been cut up, and the 4612 is in storage facing an uncertain future with CN.
