Of course watching them stall over and over again it's bad on locomotives because you are pushing them past their breaking point and usually ends up in one of them throwing a rod. I think what Patriot Rail has in Fort Valley Georgia on the Georgia Southern line would work good on this line for heavy tonnage trains. They have an ex-CSX GP40-2 and a Roadmate I think that would help them here because them two jacks were in a strain trying to get a heavy train over the road.
Love the coverage on this underrated operation! Keep it up

That’s a lot of tonnage for two engines. We had trouble taking six loads up Jasper Hill. Notch 8 and Hot Engine alarms ringing all the way up.
Great video, nicely shot thank you.
I hope they don't move power around on this line but I have seen what they done on pioneer rail lines.
they could use a pusher locomotive in the rear when hauling stone.
Definitely . Downgrading that GP 40 from 3,000 to 2,000 HP wasn't smart ( in my estimation ) for hauling rock
I like the engineer keeps the wiper in his line of site lolo were do they get these clowns
