Slowly I turn
Title:  Slowly I turn
Description:  Train 413 rolls slowly through the south end of Bevier St, at what used to be BX cabin, as the rear of its train is stretched out to BD. Once clear of those obstacles, it will start its run to Belden tunnel in earnest. Todays effort has six units-including one of SOO's five SD60M's-for its 128 cars, a heavy train in this era.

Making a run for it
Title:  Making a run for it
Description:  Train 413s six units are pulling hard to lift 128 cars to Belden tunnel. That non-dynamic brake ex B&M GP 40 won't be much help on the downhill side of the tunnel, as its lack of DB's will prevent the use of them on the trailing three units.

GP 38 going north
Title:  GP 38 going north
Description:  There was a spate of GP 38s going north on 413 during this time. Not sure why the exodus, and they seemed to lead most of the time. One is on the point of todays 413 as it rolls through the north end crossovers to head for BD and a trip north. Check out that second unit, an ex SOO SD 40 in Golden Rodent paint.
