Re: (rshsdepot) Re: Leaves on the track

You think leaves on the track are bad, try caterpillars sunning themselves  
on the railhead in the spring of the year. Just like putting lubricating grease 
 on the rails. On the hill south of Potsdam, NY they had to put an extra 
diesel  unit on the train, disconnected the freight train from the three engines, 
and  run light up and down the hill a few times to sand the track and then 
recoupled  the train and run like hell down the hill before more crawled up on 
the  railhead. What fun.
