so for robinson gap, the coal drag up the hill isnt too bad since theyre empty, its the drag back to whittier thats rough. you dont realize it but the entrance to goveners island is uphil. I've stalled my C44 connie and had to rescue it with the starter mogul thats my bryson switcher. its rough but now I send the western maryland and the connie up together and back. saves on coal a bit.
