Earl, I missed that trip but I envy your opportunity to have fired.
The video showed the OU Spreader seemingly putting a lot of plowing effort onto the ground.
I noticed that in addition to pulling the spreader, the engine had had the weight of 4 or 5 other cars.
Would the weight of the additional cars put more burden on the engine or did the extra weight of the consist provide more inertia to move the plow?
Even with Marvin's magical throttle hand, was it possible to work very far with the spreader down
without driver slippage? Did you carry extra sand?
