Bernie Feltman General Odd place to stop for air problems - on a bridge. Hope the conductor didn't have to walk it 9/8/2013 10:14:55 PM
Joe Marascalco General The engineer had the brakes set coming down the hill into this river bottom and when he placed the brake handle back to release, the equalizing reservior would not budge. They ended up replacing the brake valve on the locomotive right here a day or two later. 9/10/2013 6:31:22 AM
