Surprise in Manistee 5-03-05

Unread post by BB »

One heck of a nice surprise this week. CSX 2265 a road slug with mother 6482. My first time seeing a former GP30. Last year seen a former GP35.

Here they are getting the Martin Marietta train in the yard.

I saw a GP30 slug in Manistee last July. Not as cool as that one though...

Thanks again! Gotta go catch the train coming back to the yard with the GP30 leading if it's still here.
