E251 battling up the hill in BH!

Unread post by David Collins »

This time I hit the jackpot, after drivers ed, I got word that if I left my house right away, I'd be catching a VERY late E251 with some quite foamy power, A CN Paint (Ex Illinois Central) SD70 #1030 and a BNSF GEVO leading this one, my friend provided some excellent lighting with his car's headlights, and the sound of these two workhorses battling up the hill in Bloomfield Hills cannot be beaten!

Enjoy!
