Re: Steel Rails Vol 3 No 5 Winter Trains on CSX in West Mich
Cool. I've video of a westbound loaded train between Hudsonville and Zeeland from around this same time. I'll find it tonight and see if the loco numbers are the same as those BN\GTW units.
Can I ask how you got your video from VHS to digital? PM me if you want.
Thanks,
