NS'S Alabama Divison AGS North District  Contributor's Pick!       
NS Northbound Freight Train 130 ( New Orleans, La. to Chattanooga, Tn. ) stopped at Trussville, Al. due to wheel slip problems. Plans were to put the 5995 in the 2nd position while putting the 2nd HLCX 5982 as the lead unit due to the 2 NS units not facing north.

Jamie West General Two ex-UP SD60 leasers...nice! Awesome shot! Interesting that the train would stop for wheel slip problems when the locomotives have sand that they can spray onto the tracks to regain traction. 1/10/2012 4:06:51 AM

William H. Davis Jr. General When you have continuous wheel slip & you can't get it reset then you have to swap engines around, it gets annoying listening to the constant buzzing noise when you have continuous wheel slip 8/31/2012 9:04:25 PM
