WEST SUMMIT
| THE FAST MAIL, PULLED BY A SET OF RE-MOTORED LIFE LIKE PA'S PULLS INTO SUMMIT. DUE TO THE HIGH CURRENT DRAW OF THE LIFE LIKE MOTORS I DECIDED TO REPLACE THEM WITH KATO MOTORS REMOVED FROM F-UNIT B'S. I REMOVED THE WEIGHTS FROM THE PA'S AND DID NOT REPLACE THEM BECAUSE OF THE MODIFICATIONS NEEDED TO FIT OVER THE NEW KATOS, BUT THEY STILL HAVE PLENTY OF PULLING POWER AND WITH THE KATO MOTORS THEY ARE PHENOMENAL RUNNERS |
| ONE OF THE ENGINEMEN ON THE HELPER GIVES A FRIENDLY WAVE AS THEY WAIT ON THE CABOOSE TRACK FOR A FREIGHT TO PASS THROUGH SUMMIT. HE HAS ORDERS TO TURN ON THE WYE AND HEAD BACK TO SAN BERDOO. |
