Pumping up the air!

Tom, those Alcos are the only engine for kicking. Our S1 was great, by the time you got the GP7 up to speed to kick you were already into the siding. I was told that the load regulator could be set for switching, but no one seemed to know how to do it. A lot of the old time mechanics have already passed away.
There is nothing better than watching a good crew do flat switching.

There was no "switch" switch on the control stand or back bulkhead on that GP? Wierd. There is on WP's GP7's, 9's, and 20's.
