| Description: |
Norfolk & Western heritage unit NS 8103 looks mighty sharp on the point of CP 288 at Portage East curve, but it isn't actually moving. The unit is suffering from loading issues that had the crew conferring with several mechanical departments and Diesel Docs. |

I think I can, I think I can |

The crew finally got the 8103 to load (and to allow the trailing unit to load as well), and dispatch gives them a light to continue eastbound. |

I thought wrong |
| Description: |
Good thing I came here, since this is about as far east as NS 8103 will get as the lead unit of CP 288. About 15 car lengths past the crossing, the units lost power again and the crew soon gave up on trying to get to Chicago with these engines. |
