What was the location at 3:05 ?

Maybe shortlines such as this one have little need for large fuel tanks. Yes, the track is in great condition. The 10 mph of most short lines indicates a class I track rating. Short lines which operate at about 25 mph indicate a class II track status. This track may very be class III and have a maximum rating of 40 mph.

I always thought this loco looked odd with the small box fuel tank

[northgacub]

it was built that way for Erie Mining. Phelps Dodge units had similar tanks.

Wow, they get moving on that old jointed track. My local shortline is either overly cautious or really in that bad of shape, but they only go 10 MPH most everywhere. I assume it eventually picked up some cars...what was its destination?

[jfreelan1964]

Downtown Fayetteville most likely.

[SCL1306]

yep, Carolina Southern is the same way. Flat from Mullins to Chadbourn and hilly from Chadbourn to Conway

Thats a nice P5 on the A&R 405, too bad you couldnt get the John Blue on this run!
