BJRY Road Slug #1513B - Burlington Junction Rwy |
| Description: |
This Burlington Junction road slug was originally built as Grand Trunk Western SW1200 #1513 in March of 1960. It then went to CANX 1513 before landing on the BJRY roster. Technically this is not an SDW1500 like its two sisters and even now, it is just a road slug usually paired to its mother, BJRY #1513A. |

Holding the main |
| Description: |
I ran back up to Stilwell, thinking it would be a close race there. When I arrived, there was a southbound oil train holding the main. This is good, the 261 isnt here yet. I had enough time to get gas(at $2.04/gallon) and get back trackside. The 261 still had not shown. He had a heavy train but usually northbounds make better time that this one. They also have a two mile shorter run between Cave Springs and Stilwell that I do via road. |
