[quote user="Railfan Alex"]Yep the pulpwood is a "live" load. Certainly don't want to pull a Tyler with a string of those cars. But then again string-lining with a bunch of sand loads would be pretty messy... [/quote] Luckily, loaded sand cars are really heavy. If there's enough weight behind them to stringline them, then you're either going to need seven engines on the head end (maybe less on other railroads, but the WRS only runs GP7s, GP18s, and GP15-1s) or four head-end units plus rear end and/or mid-train helpers, which would solve the problem anyway as long as the helper engineer knew what they were doing.-------------------------------Here's that new video I promised, chasing work extra GRWJ westbound over the White River Southern Railroad. We'll meet intermodal hotshot WJNA and manifest WJCD along our route. The work train equipment is leased from the Merrimack & Souhegan Railroad, the WRS' southern partner.
