| CSX train O701 struggles up the grade which climbs over the Pinellas Ridge on the Clearwater sub with 45 cars of rock for Conrad Yelvington. A GP39 is rated for 3,000 tons on this grade, and the 10 mph street trackage at the bottom precludes "making a run at it." This pair definitely has their hands full, and the distinct sound of those 12-645E3s was wonderful. |
