Mosquito control on "the Hill"
Title:  Mosquito control on "the Hill"
Description:  This run-by immediately preceeded a "dark firebox" condition. After makin' a reverse move ta pick up the fans the ol' girl ran outta fuel. Two Geep's were called ta pull the 8444 and train in to Cheyenne. A LITTLE smoke is kinda OK, THIS amount is a bit over the line
