Starting Up Trammells Hill

NS Central of Georgia Train 334 begins the 6 mile climb up the 1.16% grade that is Trammells Hill after leaving downtown Sylacauga, AL on April 23, 2009. This long, steady grade regularly causes over-tonnage trains to stall, requiring the crews to double the train to the top of the hill. This normally sets them back at least two hours.
