One thing to mention, the CSX SD40-2 is running on fumes. The crews in Hamlet, NC forgot to refuel the beast! Cab gauge said zero, as did the sight gauge on the tank, and a good thunk of a rock confirmed the barren linings of the tank. Q192 took a gamble that it would have enough juice to get them going up the hill into the Opelika Block. |
