With two of four MPUs dead in tow, the NS 88M stalled on the 1.4% grade at Fairfax Station. Two locomotives from the NS P52 at Van Dorn were sent south to couple with the lead end and pull the train of 83 stuck TopGons the rest of the way to VEPCO in Alexandria. Seen here are members of both the 88M and the P52 preparing their trains to be coupled together.
