Still Foggy
Cool nights and heavy rains the day before create a thick moody fog that is still lingering close to the ground and covering the tree tops in the Huron Mountains in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The crew on L540 with their one load are about to reach Summit where, the train will start down hill to Lanse with grades varying from little to flat all the way to over 3% with the majority of the hill being over 1.5% down to the Keweenaw Bay, which on this day wont be an issue going down but the returning train will make the EMD's work a little to get back up.
