| At the end of a frigid late-winter day, CP train 561 is struggling through a nightmarish trip from Chicago. First, the lead unit, SOO 6045, and the second unit, GSCX 7350, are taking turns over-heating and causing other problems while the trailing unit, CP 6015, is simply dead and drained. As if that wasn't enough, a hot box has just been detected and the train is seen here limping along at 10mph, desperately trying to reach the siding at Wyocena to clear Amtrak 7, which is bearing down fast on this train's marker. All in a day's work, right? |
