HEAVY Rock Train Attacks Hill & Needs Cut Not Once But 3 Pieces! Listen To Locomotives Working Hard!

One Of The Heaviest Trains Yet! Train Makes Run At Hill & Splits Into 3 Sections To Make The Steep Grade. Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Rock Train With Grain & Lumber Up Front Pulled By 2 Red Locomotives ( GP15-1 ). Listen to this classic American railroad fight gravity on a hill that Norfolk Southern fought and lost on. I remember Norfolk Southern grain trains struggling on this hill.
First we see the whole train in Mount Orab, Ohio crossing Eastwood Road westbound. This is the same train that I filmed on Friday going eastbound to the quarry empty. This time the whole train was loaded. The first 5 cars are covered hopper cars loaded with grain from Winchester Ag. The next 5 cars are gondola cars loaded with railroad ties from McCoy Lumber in Peebles, Ohio. The next 24 cars are gondola and hopper cars loaded with stone from Hanson quarry in Plum Run, Ohio.
Next we go to Williamsburg to watch the train attack the hill. The train was cut into half for the first trip. Grain and lumber are lighter than stone so the first section of the train made it easily. The locomotives returned light down the hill after setting the 17 cars off at Afton Yard.
The next section was too heavy and the train was stopped at Gay Street in Williamsburg to be cut in half again. We see the second section pass by with 9 cars. I moved to another location on the hill to see the locomotives return light again to the rest of the train.
The third section of the train was the remaining 8 cars of stone and they made it easily. Listen to the locomotives working on the hill. You can hear them after they pass and are out of sight. I think they really sound good. The SD40-2 was at Sardinia the last time that I checked. I don't know why they didn't use it also. I know the comments will be asking that.
The line side signals are old Norfolk & Western Railway color position lights. NS shut them off about 2005. I think that's right. I have a journal somewhere where I wrote all that stuff down but I don't know where it is.
