IC&E's Davis Turn is instructed to pick up the dead westbound freight tied down in the siding at Genoa and to take it "as far west as you can." As you can image, the crew was thrilled to hear this.
Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.
