FWIW
ED-2 was scheduled to go "south" over the "loop" today (3-2) with one unit, ED-4, also with one unit, was assigned to the same train as a pusher. I didn't count, but guesstimate 40+/- cars in the train. The train stalled with ED-4 stopped at the signal at the loop connection with the EB/WB main. The hump switcher, with two units, was called to push the pusher. Took four units to get the train up the loop and southbound.
