Geez ... sure hope that's a "putsch" ... bad enough long hood forward on an intdustrial. The thought of having to eyeball around a slug ahead TOO is ... well ... making my sphincter twitch. :(

That *WAS* a reverse short distance move, no?

That's formerly Conrail's Allentown Yard? I spent a lot of time there back in the day, up in the tower. Thanks for the memories. Cool pics.

The operator was on the front platform of the yard slug when the power was pulling; he moved to the locomotive cab when pushing, and climbed out to the steps when the power approached the hump.
