Title:  Taking a hard pull
Description:  The motorman is watching the pole as he starts a hard pull on a long string of cars. 54 was groaning on this one, but she still did it. The best of Baldwin engineering from 1923. How many EMDs will still be working after 92 years?

Description:  After departing Boone, we began to make our way north to Mason City, where we would be spending the evening before continuing north once more. Of course, you always have to pay a visit to everyones favorite electric shortline! Sadly, they were not working while I visited, but there were plenty of cars sure to be moved soon!
