The "oil cans" struggles through Bealville. With one unit down in the lead set and one unit only partially loading in the helper set, the remaining locomotives were having difficulties getting this train up the grade. At 2:00 the helpers open up to full throttle, but it doesn't help much as the train noticeably slows even more. By the time the helpers reach my camera position, the train is crawling, the locomotives are digging with everything they've got.
