Blown Turbo at Wright
Title:  Blown Turbo at Wright
Description:  "We're having trouble loading and only get one third of our power" says the Engineer on UP 5970 to UP's Mechanical Team in Omaha. While coming out of Black Thunder Mine, UP 5970 lost its turbo and blanketed the cloudless sky with thick black and gray smoke. The train would struggle over the hill just to the south and then stop for further assistance
