It was defiantly worth the 2 hour wait to get 119 today. He had 2 SD70s your lucky to see 1 on a fright now let alone 2. But that is slowly changing now that NS is pulling them out of storage. In fact 2542 has not been out of storage long. This was taken in Belmont NC as fall colors start to show. |
