Zach Pumphery General Ahh, 8444 had diesel helpers, lol. 1/23/2006 6:51:59 PM
Mike Woodruff General Yes, two diesel helpers, but nearly triple the train size, so it was actually fairly even. I wrote "ill-fated" because 4449 overheated a bearing near the top and had to limp back to Bakersfield at about 15 mph. 1/23/2006 7:00:42 PM
Zach Pumphery General Oh yeah, now I remember that. 12/24/2006 1:09:46 PM
