    Made my trip up, as I was hoping!!
    Got a few still photos, of a loaded 2x3x1coal train
    downgrade at Tolland. And a couple of the finished maintenance building at East Portal.
    Everything else is video. From the time I reach Rollinsville, to the tunnel, and about 3 1/2 miles up
    the hill, before fairly deep snowdrift stopped me.
    And complete video, from the end of the line, back to Rollinsville and a quick shot as I pass through Pinecliff.
    Will start on the video after dinner, in about 10 minutes. Do NOT know how long it will require
    to get video uploaded!!
    Please note as well, Image Stabilization on camera does NOT give an accurate picture of how
    bad the hill really is!! You can see some of the nastier areas though!! And my moaning and groaning
    also indicates how bad I'm getting beat up!!
    If anything, watch the hood of the truck bouncing up and down!
    Turning the camera IS(Image Stabilization) OFF next trip up, so hopefully, it'll show the severity of the grade.
    Just bear with me as I get stuff uploaded and posted, since I do NOT know how long this will require.
    Thanks!!
