In fact, on this particular Saturday, the MNYRO-28 met the MRONY-26 at Cliff. Not only was coal completely missing from the scene, but so was the sound of a four-stroke engine! The eastbound MRONY had two SD70M's, an SD40-2, and a patched SP SD40M-2 for power. The westbound had four SD70M's and they were working hard. Here is the MNYRO approaching the west end of the siding. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

It is just 79 feet in length! An eastbound coal load wraps through a small S-curve and passes thruogh the short tunnel. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The train is creeping along at 18 MPH, and several cars are showing the slowing effort as smoke comes off the super-hot brake shoes.
