| Album Info: | A 6320 ft long coal train broke a knuckle on the coupler on one of the coal hoppers causing them to stop(blocking 3 crossings) and try to repair it. The engine did not have the right coupler so they took the first part of train and the bad car dropped of the bad car at Von Tobel siding then took I think 13 loaded hoppers to C.P. Lincoln, dropped them off there then went back to the remaining consist. The remaining consist was sitting on Valpo hill under the Cambell street bridge meaning that it slid from Lafayette to Cambell while they made the first trip. I think then they got the remaining consist toke it to Lincoln coupled up to the first consist and then without problem headed east again. |
