Interesting info from Bill Sheppard re: freight on the Cut-Off...
- -----Original Message-----
Way back when, a car for Greendell would be left on the west end of the Slow Track at Port Morrris Junction so that a westbound freight like HB-7 could nose into it and shove it to Greendell for placement. Based on personal experience, I recall that this move was done at track speed right through Roseville Tunnel. Eastbound moves were less exciting and typically involved a pick-up at Greendell and a set-off at Port Morris by through freights.
