Article #55: Steam Locomotive Doubleheading

This article is about steam locomotives double heading either on light power moves or real freight trains across the DVCRR System. The photos here show 0-4-0 #50 with its engineer along with 0-6-0 06237 heading toward the grovemont yard on a light power move. On the DVCRR multiple steam engines double head some of the time, but there are only 3 steam locomotives on the whole DVCRR layout and these 2 make up almost that whole list. 06237 was really pushing #50 hard back to Grovemont. A smaller locomotive either steam or diesel needs a helper a lot of the time.

Both locomotives pushing with the same amount of power.
