Going solo
Title:  Going solo
Description:  It must have been a trying day for the crew on this OIBU with a single unit and 68 cars. Dont know what he had going up Gulf Summit, but Im sure it was a very slow ride. Conrail almost never ran a road train on the Tier with a single unit, though CP did it fairly routinely.
