Another just in time...... |
| Description: |
They were having issues with this train. When we pulled up on it, it was sitting in the hole. Thelead engine was not enough to pull it. So they fired up the other unit to get rolling. Then the EOT was not responding. Finally, they are moving, not sure if all the issues were resolved! |

The rather large grain complex caught our eyes. And thought we might find some different engines. Surprised to find two NS units parked here. This must be a "hopping" place during the week! |
