Flare comparison.

Two sets get put to bed after a morning of shoving.

But the third set is going right back out.


During the summer of 2013 MRL was running two helper sets of four SD70Ace's. Saturday October 25, the railroad had three sets running, diluted, as it were, with 645 power. There was one set of 3 SD70's and an SD40, and two other sets of five units, each with 3 SD70s, and and an SD40/45 combo.

  1. Watched them in 2001, they really move freight, mostly grain when I was there.
