Slow start |
| Description: |
Train 413 rolls through the location of old BX cabin at the south end of Bevier St, passing the Agway mill as it gets started toward Oneonta and Mohawk. Its a slow drag here, as the trains 63 cars are stretched around a tight curve, the rear still passing through BD. Its a hard start for a tough climb. |

Climbing |
| Description: |
413 has a good roll on as it climbs toward Belden tunnel. It will need whatever momentum it has, since the climb stiffens considerably in a mile or so. |
