Boaz Pix

[NW Mailing List]

To add to the westbound Blue Ridge helper info, O.
Winston Link made an in-cab recording of a Y6a (2160)
running light from Boaz to the east side of Blue
Ridge, then pushing backward up the hill.  The
eastbound run survives, but the westbound run is on a
tape that's missing.
