NS GP38-2 #5157

Classic high hood GP38-2 #5157, a former Southern unit, rests its wheels on the interchange track at Milan, MI, this warm afternoon. It is the power for local job L64, which works days west out of Oakwood as far as Milan. The crew lays over here for lunch and parks the locomotive on the wye track to keep the mainline clear. Milan is the junction of the NS Detroit District (ex-Wabash) and Ann Arbor railroad. October 2, 2008.
