Moving MKSIT

Coming on board after lining the crossover at the north end of Park Yard in S. St. Paul so we can go down the State St. Connection. Unit is fresh from the factory, a winged SD70M, and still smells like fresh paint.

Engineer let me start and move the train down to Plato Blvd., releasing the brakes and alternating between 1st and 2nd notch to stay under the 10 mph speed limit on other than main tracks.

Resuming my conductorly duties, we are stopped at Plato to await the arrival of the road crew to check the brake set on the rear car
