On the way to the Marion, Ohio slide show on Saturday I recorded this sequence in Deshler:
An E494 empty coal train had to wye its power in Deshler using the northwest and southwest transfer tracks. This seems to happen a couple times a year when I'm in Deshler. Even if one unit had completely died the other would be able to handle an empty coal train to Huntington with ease. More likely, however, is a non-working heater in one unit, necessitating the swap.
