Tampa, FL is definitely short on power. Just got a text from my best friend Ricky Waters, before he is on duty, he is engineer on CSX Q652-30 (Tampa, FL - Waycross, GA) tonight, and says he has a SD40-2 #8114 and MP15 #1134 (both units came South on yesterdays Q441) on a 148-car train (83 loads 65 empties 10732 tons 11207 feet 608 axles 0.42 HPT). He says he knows for sure he will never make track speed the entire trip, and that any grade he encounters the train will slow to a crawl. Heads up for a severely underpowered CSX Q652 tonight!
