| Q133-08 (Baltimore Penn Mary-Chicago 59th St) is hurtling westbound down #1 Track, splitting the Bailey Road signals at milepost BG123.3 of the New Castle subdivision in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The late afternoon light here is perfect for westbounds in the Winter months. Cuyahoga Falls is where the New Castle SD plunges down into the Little Cuyahoga River Valley in Akron. The ruling grade east of Sand Patch is here: 1.1%. Eastbounds facing that grade, which crests at the Bailey Road signals, are in Run 8 and working hard. On a clear night you can hear them grinding uphill for several minutes before they arrive. Westbounds like this one tend to be in full dynamic when they fly past, slowing down for the crawl through Akrons bottleneck at AY. |
