80 car train         
The CN leased us this engine for one day because we had 80 storage cars at Aberdeen JCT to be picked up to take to Kosciusko. It would have taken about 8 trips in our 45-tonner to move this many cars. Shortly after this picture, we stalled on the hill leaving Mc Adams and had to double our train into Kosciusko. This was the longest train we ever had on the KSRY. Engineer Robert Riley, Conductor Dave Dellatte, Brakemen Joe Marascalco and Merrill Porter.

Fred Goff General Nice photo. Joe, is this the engine that the tree molested? 9/26/2011 10:44:40 AM
Joe Marascalco General No, the IC 9614 is the one we hit the tree with. I have a picture of that trip on here before departing Kosciusko that day. We somehow managed to return this engine to the CN without damaging it any. 9/26/2011 4:29:45 PM
