| Remarks & Notes |
| An empty coal train drop down grade out of Albia. the Ottumwa Sub mains are split here due to the grades in this area. The old way would not allow coal trains to take main #1 between Halpin and Maxon because they couldn't make the 1.2-1.5% grade. Not sure if that is still the case with DP power and such, but the normal operation today is to have coal trains use main #2, as is the case here as a load is crawling up main #2 across town as this empty rolls west towards next crew change in Creston, IA. |
