BIG LOAD AT MONTVIEW

This past week there was a big load at Montview Yard.

This Siemens Schnabel car was sitting in Montview with a huge generator load.

Detail shots of the car and load.  Note that the generator was built in Charlotte, NC. Note also that the car is marked "DO NOT HUMP LOADED OR LIGHT". Yes, let's roll this thing down a hill and see what happens!

The caboose. For those looking to model it, its an ex-CP Rail 'van', the same as the Rapido Transcona Yard caboose; BLMA makes the roof top a/c units.

There was only one idler car; this OTTX flatcar. This train was headed north; to where I don't know.
