Sure do Doug !!  From the top of the yard to the curve before the RI X'ing. was an exciting ride.  Kinda fun switchin' up there too.  The "Ottawa Hump" yd.

 

Anyone here on the list ever been down into Ottawa Silica or at least remember the engine commin' up OUTTA Ottawa Silica ??  The part of that trip that was most "excitin" was gettin' 20 ta 25 loads a sand up out of the hole by J P Weatherby and OVER the RI.  Of course, don't forget the interlockin' signal ya needed BEFORE ya crossed the Rock.

 

Always said "howdy" ta 4978 every time I passed 'er too.
