Dragging 'em south

White KCS SD40-2 #683 leads #695 and #652 (all SD40-2) around the curve at Stapps, OK. Very shortly the hogger will hear from the high/wide/dragging equipment detector just around the corner....that he has no defects with the 242 axle train he's dragging over Rich Mountain. This is where the 1.5% grade up to the summit really starts to effect southbound traffic; some of which slow down to 12-15 mph!
