Comments on: Crawling onto the N&NW spur at 1.5mph, 4130 gently shoves HEPX 200 and transformer down to the port at Federal Marine Terminal Ltd. Returning from repair, the transformer will be loaded on the ship Blair McKeil for shipment to Sandusky, Ohio.

I think at this point they were running as a yard extra out of Hamilton (no longer L351). 4130 was down the hole solo later in the day doing work of typical yard jobs, and calling RTC as something like 1055 Yard Extra (or something obscure like that – I don’t fully recall the time they were using).

I understand that this transformer is a dud. They bought four,two were good and this one is going back to China and they don’t want it back.

Very good picture Jacob, very colourful and nice to see a caboose in good repair and nicely painted. Where was the transformer repaired and by whom ? Thanks, John
