Early to mid sixties routine power for Mpls transfers before F's. St Paul Yd would hang everthing on. Over 100 cars all the time. Counted 181 once and 212 once. With helper. Over 125 without would stall past Chesnut St on 2.2 grade on Short Line hill around high bridge or Fordson Jct maybe a little farther. They would throw sand.jump up and down,rail burn with cherry red stacks to no avail till St Paul Yd put a pusher on behind. I still think of that commotion when I see these otherwise very capable luggers. Thank for more memories of growing up around there.
