That was in the fall of '92, wasn't it? Man, it was amazing to see her stall like that. I remember people were laying bets on if this would happen even before 611 passed the foot of the grade.

As I recall, there was a huge push to get NS to run 1218 up Saluda but she's been in the shop for a year when this happened and never steam again. Such a shame, I would have loved to have seen 1218 walk right up this grade...

645,
Just my opinion but,,,,,,I wouldn't believe EVERYTHING you read on that "other forum".

Yeah, there are lots of folks there who profess to be 'in the know' but even I can tell they're talking out of what we always called in the Army, "their forth point of contact"...
