HIGH AND WIDE PT 2

 A "high and wide" movement has arrived in Hillsdale...

Chris is on the radio, helping back extra 2029 into its spot in the yard.

Extra 2029 begins backing up. Normally, there would be a crew member on the caboose platform, but apparently not today.

Yard personnel watch carefully, as the train slowly backs down. A derailment here would foul the eastbound main  for quite some time, as it would take a while to get the proper equipment in place to right the extremely heavy load.

The empty well car, added for extra braking effort.

The head end slowly, but surely, approaches. With a 200+ ton load, nothing is being rushed!

Train in place, the engineer ties down for the night.

A loaded CEBX 801 is one massive car!

HDTX 4726 will look a little bit different when she leaves. While she is sitting in the yard, an minor upgrade will be performed.

Stay tuned...
