Hey David Lang, would you post on this thread when southbound train 514 clears Linden tomorrow, Thurs. 5-7? Usually it seems after 4:00 p.m. I am going to Derby Road bridge in Birmingham to photograph this train, hopefully again with
"Orange" EJ&E SD38-2 #657!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :D :D :mrgreen:

Wb manifest by 205 at 2255 with 6 cn units. 5th was eje 658, 6th was a very faded emd i couldn't read the number on. There was a number of cn ballast cars toward the head end if that gives anyone clues as to which train it was.
