Engineer Pat Kinney has this ACe in notch 8 as the lone unit crests the grade out of Battle Creek dragging 251 kicking and screaming. At 8,138 Tons, 10,284 feet, 251 is down to 12mph.
Evening sun hits the 251 as she roars past some track equipment on an MOW siding. Just 100 yards ahead 251 will knock down the clear indication at MAX.
UP 4037 is having radio problems as it roars through CN MAX. The 454 axle count at Mile Post 166.6 is not heard by the conductor who is asking for a screen display of the detector readout.
