WSOR 2055
Title:  WSOR 2055

WSOR 2055
Title:  WSOR 2055
Description:  The 2055 provides the muscle for the MABLT today, and the crew switches the yard in the face of dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and (yet to come) a brief, but vicious downpour. Also visible in this photo are the WSOR's yellow transfer car (ex-GTW) and one of WSOR's three (soon to be more?) refurbished ex-metra bi-levels.
