This is Part II of our 16 August 1986 chase of D&H train BUEB. Our chase started in Buffalo, with the heavy manifest tackling Attica Hill with iconic ALCO pushers on the rear. Part II starts in Silver Springs, where the pushers have cut from the rear and made their way to the front, where Bicentennial 'clubfoot' RS3u will take the lead, with RS36 5015 falling back to CP Rock Glen to await more heavy work.

Amazing, for a while everyone thought the 506 was done. Maybe one day it'll get red and blue again. Damn good thing people were documenting this era.
