Were the two Marshall turns full tonnage? If they were it looked like the two turns could have lifted about 40 cars to the top. That would have left 11 cars at Marshall and 22 cars at Sargent.
I couple more questions. Was tonnage reduced on the eastbound train to Salida due to the cold? Was there an engine house at Sargent for the 498?
