That seems a bit much. I've read that 03 was heavier than 02 but #60,000 more seems unlikely.

Should this be MP 11.3 and 11.9? MP 113 is north of Millwood siding (summit) and MP 119 is south of it. It would be more interesting that way as it would mean 03 ran away *up* the grade for the first couple of miles...
