Southbound Manifest With GREAT POWER
Title:  Southbound Manifest With GREAT POWER
Description:  Here came a train through the 7 inch snow, at a slow speed but still blowing some snow around. We were really here for the third unit, which showed up in an Internet Trace as it left a location in Illinois. When it left North Dexter we came down to the tracks, soon after it departed Bernie it showed up here. We were shocked (but not disappointed) at what else was in the consist, like that second unit! The only thing that could have made it better would have been if one of the SD45's would have been leading.
