GP40 #3091 is seen working the yard and shoving empties back under the coal loader. The yard is full of C&I hoppers that have since been sold off since the C&I is nearing the end. These will travel loaded over the blairsville cutoff to cresson where they will be sent either east or west.

Brilliant shot, Bruce (as usual!). Running trains again (thank goodness) through Mud Run Curve and past the Coffee Caboose - the new guy leads Reading and EL power.

Todd,
ditto what Bruce said. what a headache, glad to hear it's fixed.
Bruce,
what did you use for snow? AI, or baking soda?
Matt,
re C&I hoppers sold off... I'm confused. Are you meaning that historically, these would have been sold off after the period you are modelling? (I have a couple, patched for EAMX use for hauling cullet, as I observed locally ~15 years ago).

Hillyard,
I used baking soda and a sheet of clear plastic for the ice.
