On July 28, 2006, a CSX SD70MAC and AC60CW lead a westbound grain train "up the hill" on the ex B&O Indianapolis Subdivision near Hamilton, Ohio.
We first see the train at Boyle Road, near the crest of the ruling grade on this Hamilton, Ohio to Indianapolis, Indiana line. It is not uncommon for the Power Desk in Jacksonville to be overly optimistic with the tractive effort assigned to trains on this line, but on this day these two units are more than up to the task.
Next, after cresting the grade, the train has a relatively flat road the rest of the way to Indy. We see it at McGonigle, Ohio, roughly halfway between Hamilton and Oxford.
Enjoy!
