Rock train 642 shoves onto the single main with 40 ballast loads
Title:  Rock train 642 shoves onto the single main with 40 ballast loads
Description:  This westbound rock train was using what used to be the number of an eastbound ethanol train! Their two Geeps couldn't pull the 40 loads uphill west to the double main, so they had to shove through town, onto the single main and across the UP diamond.
