Four 40s pulling hard
Title:  Four 40s pulling hard
Description:  Train 253s SDs are pulling hard as they struggle toward Belden Tunnel. This was mostly a merchandise train to St Luc, and it was typically maxing out its tonnage ratings. Fortunately, another ten minutes, and it will be downhill into Afton.
