This one starts just beyond Dalton Crossing and it's a real fight up through Hurley's Curve. You can see I've got 487 hooked up pretty high, but she won't keep her feet if I drop her down. At about 630 I mention this to Dave.

Dave's actually having a pretty easy time here (well - I've had worse days). He's taking 6-8 scoops to a fire and he gets about 2 minutes between fires, which was about normal.

Note at 945 you can hear the second engine 10 cars back.
