East bound train NS 334 has just crossed Eastern Alabama Railway's tracks in downtown Sylacagua, AL and has just hit the start or the 1.16%, 6 Mile grade up Trammells Hill East of town. It's a steady pull up to the top of Trammells Hill that often causes east bound trains to stall, resulting in having to double the train to the top of the hill. Two to three hour delays are the result. |
