Hard working Helpers
Title:  Hard working Helpers
Description:  Even better then the power on the head end was the pair of IC helpers! It was great to hear two SD40-3s in run eight giving it all they had to shove the train up grade. The bass and sound that these units made reminded me of the good old days when the WC Transfer woula grind up Shoreham Hill.

DMIR 409
Title:  DMIR 409
Description:  The last unit on the Proctor Switch was the DM&IR 409. While it wears CN paint now, it was still nice to see a DM&IR unit working on home rails.
