Hi, R598-13 was supposed to take the CSX power to Grand Jct siding but there was a change in the plans & the Dispatcher had told them to just separate the CSX power from their empty coal train in Wells siding & tie everything down there.

Thanks for that information. Although inferior to other companies' heritage units they are still nice to see. I might get to see it this evening, on my return run to the farm nearby.
