FW: Single engine

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Actually on my way bck from Williamson today, around Iaeger I saw a long 
string of empty hoppers behind a single locomotive heading east. I also saw, 
in that same general area, a string of three locomotives racing west without 
anything, which I assume means they were pushers heading back to stand by 
for more work....
