7/15/2021 Double header and double duty

[Sharon Evans]

As noted earlier we have another long train today requiring a double header and the helper will then, on return, get ready to do the school that starts today.

Looks like 11 cars today..........a cab has been added...................484 is the road loco again with 487 as the helper.

Departure of an 11 car 216 with 487 as the helper and 484 as the road loco for a second consecutive day. Just as 487 was passing the tipple the train stopped. It then backed down closer to 484. 484 did not move. So did the coupling between the two locos snap? After about 5 minutes, the train was underway again.

You can see that 425 is outside as I believe the lettering on the tender is being altered to the correct style.

Seeing 2 double headers in a row during the current situation is a joy to behold.
