I stumbled on this video this afternoon and figured I would share it. It's a 1993 cab ride in B32-8 3553 around the milan runner from the AA to the NS main. Appears that the pair of a B32-8 and GP60 were teamed up to pull the one NW high cube to the main.

Re: Ride around the connector at milan Michigan (1993)
This goes back to when NS utilized trackage rights over the Ann Arbor between Milan and Toledo for trains running between Detroit ( Oakwood ) and Toledo before they had the Detroit Line. After the NS takeover of Original Conrail in 1999, they installed the crossover at the east end of Oakwood in 2002 to the Junction Yard Runner. Now trains use the crossover at Fort St from the NS Main to Conrail's Junction Yard Runner where they cross the NS Main at Ecorse Jct and then go to the Detroit Line at YD.
