Easy and Difficult
CN 5318, IC 6250, and CN 5338 make easy work of the 2.2 percent Proctor Hill grade with two empties from Duluth on July 17, 2015.
Been difficult getting an evening train coming up for the past couple of summers on CN's Proctor Hill, but a 1400 call time for this job gave some good light after they pulled loads down to the dock.
The temperature was 90 down by Lake Superior, so the crew has to be thankful for the AC units on these SD40-types.
