'77, right. No idea why I put '75.

One of the problems was that all three units (SCL1851-SCL32XX-SCL1855 - I've forgotten the number of the MATE, but they were in the 3200 series) had run out of sand. Wouldn't have made much difference, really. And as mentioned previously, nobody could tell if the MATE was even loading.

Did they add SD9s on the first trip, Wes? On the second one, there weren't any to be had.

As an aside, the brand new Asst. RFE who rode the trip decided to go back to his senority shortly thereafter.
