Remarks & Notes |
CSX mine run R202 has 60 loads of fresh coal from Clearco Mine making the steep descent towards the New River mainline at Meadow Creek, WV. Along with setting retainers on 30% of the train and using two horseshoes in an attempt to ease the gradient its still a stiff slope that reaches 3.8% in places. |
