To the Rescue

By: RF&P Productions


Description

To the Rescue - After the MP36PH-3C on VRE 310 failed at Quantico, the next northbound VRE (312) pulled in front of it, coupled up to the disabled train, and tugged it the rest of the way to Washington, D.C.. Notice the engine in the middle of the train around the curve - this is the MP36PH-3C that was shoving the 312 train and became the sole power for both sets after the combination.
