nice video! Seems like a lot of extra power for that train? Thanks for sharing!

[@TheBigBananaRailfan]

Thanks! Although #1309 is a fairly powerful locomotive, the diesels on the rear were most definitely needed on the steep grades on the C&P section of the railroad in the last two miles to Frostburg, which heavily exceed 2%! Especially on a wet day like we had on one of the days filming these runs! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@TheBigBananaRailfan guess I can't blame the railroad for not wanting to overwork it's vintage equipment, what a beast of a locomotive! I imagine the diesels help on the return trip too with their dynamic braking.
