We Think We Can |
| Description: |
In what must be a good advertisement for GE, three Erie-built "toasters," including an old C39-8, are what is needed to get the three EMD 70-series engines moving again. This was probably the heaviest train ever handled on this spur, and the three EMD units just couldn't pull the train forward as the crew made a switching move. |

NS 78J rounds the south leg of the wye |
| Description: |
The south leg of the wye gets a little action as 78J curves toward the Washington-Atlanta mainline. Soon the crew will have the train south of the plant at Salisbury and will begin shoving north toward Spencer. A PL06 yard crew will take over backing and unloading the train at Buck Steam Station in Spencer. |
