Log Hauling on D&S - Steam versus Diesel
| May 16, 2020 03:59PM |
This week all log hauling has been done by diesel. Apparently tree cutting is going slowly enough to allow the diesel to keep up with many short log trains. Makes me wonder if 493 will get back into the log hauling operations or if the diesel will do most of the remaining log car staging and hauling, as seen below on Thursday, May 14.
