M342 eases around the broad curve at the bottom of the hill |
Description: |
I raced down here on the winding, treacherous Hickory Road when I saw the train start to accelerate out of Valley, only to wait...and wait...as it slowed to stop here and meet northbound traffic. |

BLE 901 with the hill helper crew on board shoves on M342's tail |
Description: |

CN 5286, a study in grime |
