The cars were uphill of the locomotive, so I was stretching them downhill a bit so I could start them uphill one at a time. As the Heisler is operationally bi-directional, we were pushing the cars uphill and then speading ballast downhill with the locomotive facing uphill to better see the crew on the ground. We needed to see the crew to adjust our speed and spread the proper amount of ballast.
