Amtrak 972 P32-8’s and an NS caboose

Unread post by Ypsi »

Yesterday evening Amtrak 972 ran from Jackson to Willow run with a short train, but featuring P32-8’s and an NS caboose which they are borrowing. This made a nice evening light shot over the Huron river. Drone video screenshot.

Any chance you got a closeup view of the caboose in question? Or the road number at least? Great catch!

NS 555618 (ex-NW 555618)
It was being used on the Battle Creek local until last winter.

I sadly was only ever able to get photos of it with my phone. It spent a lot of time hiding in Hinman...
