Trains on this day in the past:

[Charlie B]

We seldom see brake shoe smoke today with the high horsepower dynamic braking locomotives but 44 years ago the air brake was the main braking factor for a train.  The brakes are releasing now but an application was made 2 miles back to slow down for the curves and down hill grade as the train entered East Palestine from the west. March 6, 1977.      Charlie
