The 2nd Moss Turn would leave Dante with 9000hp and 6000hp Pushing and would usually take 60 to 75 mtys with him and pick-up Raw Coal at Nora that the Nora Turn who went to work at 555AM would leave at Nora.
Used on electrified locomotives and self-propelled cars for current pick-up from the catenary system.
I should also mention that we are scheduled to pick-up 17 cars at Gilman off the east pass; scheduled to anyway. I ask Dispatcher Mike how deep on the number board we are and he tells us we will be there for sometime.
