That was the slip of the drivers.
12 cars with 4 flats loaded with ties. Little more gravity then I was used to here...Around the curve was the water stop at Los Pinos. Running westbound can be a challenge being on a curve on the grade.. Made the spout perfect but when it was time to highball I was dead center on the pistons...Great!.. Had to roll back a few feet then throttle up without slipping the drivers...Pulled that one off.
