B&ML 53 GE 70 tonner eastbound with train out of Burnham Jct. B&ML 52 is two thirds back in train consisting of mostly loads. Both units working. If train should stall, rear third of train will be cut off and two units pull/push train over grade. Then the 52 will run lite back and pull rear third of train over grade, put train together and continue east. First (and last) time I have seen a train "double the hill" without the need to set over cars.
