Comments on: In the days before dynamics, we often saw clouds of “smoke” as the regular braking worked hard slowing up the train after the long 9 mile downhill grade from Copetown. Here, it is rather obvious on this eastbound led by CN 5501, 5570 & one unidentified unit. Colour me weird, but I loved the smells…………
