Maryland Midland UBHF (Union Bridge-Highfield) rolls westbound after switching NVR Homes factory in Thurmont,MD. The rebuilt GP38 and 2 rebuilt SD40s will use all of their 8,000 HP to lift about 3 dozen freight cars up the 1.93% ruling grade up to Blue Ridge Summit. This train will return in 3 hours eastbound in an intense thunderstorm.
