The Little Engine that Could (or, "So Much Slipping")

What happens when you use a 4-6-0 to push a 2-10-4 into the shops at Texas State RR? It gets the job done, but not without liberal amounts of sand (and quick reflexes on the throttle, which you can see as the push gets going):

"Slow and steady wins he race". Or something like that.

Boy what a pain! I was losing patience just watching the video! 1:1 traction tires would have come in handy!

Thanks for posting!
