It hurt to watch and listen to this. Way too much tonnage for the adhesion available. Gives me the feeling that
the throttle/regulator is not designed well for catching slips.

Reminds me of a late afternoon trip out of Antonito behind the 315. She was slipping badly just out of the yard
and I thought this wasn't going to work. Sure enough, they set one freight car out at Lava and she did much better.
We had a nice turn to Osier and back.
