I remember catching a real typically underpowered dog out of Savannah and somewhere we suddenly became the hottest train on the C & I (97 and 3) going into the hole for us!). Thanks to the stock

Leo, it was at least late '77.  When I was still braking in the late summer of '77 we caught #74 out of Gillette.  There were six cars of cows on the head end.  Somebody decided that ten cars of coal at Wyodak were hot enough to put on #74.  Since you had to keep the stock on the head end, I rode the stock cars back into the plant to make the pick up.  It wasn't a happy experience, but I only had to do it once.  I always wondered if the ensuing delay caused them to have to make an extra watering stop somewhere down the road.
