Things were going well until the dispatcher wanted us to add more tonage at Avella. We stalled on the hill and had to call out the helpers.Enjoy,

hehehee... I've stalled my fair share of heavily loaded trains. One of my better ones was a coal drag bound for Harrisburg. I had two PRR F7's on the lead, but apperently he tonnage was either too much, or the fuel tanks were too low to provide enough traction to keep moving. All I could do was watch as my two units and their 40+ car coal drag gradually crept down from 70 to 65, then 60, and even further, until i was a 1/4 of the way up the grade, once the laead unit hit the summit, it satlled, and all i could do to save my train was either abandon the loco and her cargo on the high iron, or see if the good 'ol dispatchr could provide helpers... I'll never forget that one...One question: What route is that. From the angles of your photos, it must be a masterpiece. It isn't payware is it...?

The route is version 2 of the Pittsburgh & West Virginia Railway. (The High & Dry) It's not payware and as soon as I'm done making updates to it, I'll upload it to the file library. The section I'm doing is the Pittsburgh Division, from Rook Yard west. I've also included sections of the PRR Washington Secondary, B&M Branch and the Montour Railroads were they interchanged or cross the P&WV.Take care,
