When they get on past Buchanan closer to Bremen the two back engines are released and they go back down the mountain until the next load of coal needs help up the mountain. These coal cars go to the power plant between Whitesburg and Newnan. Okay, your next project, take a picture of the end of the train and get the two engines to prove I am right.
