UP 6394 Southbound 852 South of New Albin IA
This Portage coal train has been a headache for the CPKC. The rear DP unit shut down near Tomah, and the train had to be parked. The I66 local helped out and shoved the train to Columbia with sand train power. Now with another UP unit off a sand empty, the train heads back to the UP at Clinton. They also have a CP SD40; they will set out here at Rugged Rock for a work train. Probably not too many SD40s end up on coal trains anymore.
