We're not in Kanasas anymnore? Or Ontario? What the??? As I understand it, London Buffalo train 238 somehow ended up with 2 KCS inits on it...a first around here. Alas, when they got to Ayr, KCS 5000 wasn't loading or providing full dynamic which meant there was no way to get down the 2.3% grade into Hamilton. Whatever the solution was, it occurred in the dark. 

There had been a solo BNSF running around from a 734 delivering racks to Ayr. Which was clearly the solution as 48 hours later, 239 sprints in Galt bound for London and dinner...sadly just after the clouds arrived.
