unusual train on the Geiger Spur

A sudden surge in inbound steel resulted in some creative railroading as these loads need to be PUSHED into the industry spot. A 4-car runaround track adds a lot of time to the runaround. As a result, two SD45s, 375 and 8925, pulled the loads with GP7 1617 along for the ride buried 8 cars deep, and followed by an additional 4 loads. 13 centerbeam cars for storage completed this unusual train. Upon arrival at the runaround track, the 2 SD45s were cutoff and the 1617 shoved the 8 loads to spot, leaving the 4 trailing loads in the runaround track.
