Fellow Jreb`er Gage recently captured a real treat in the form of power on Train 12X. He's given me his blessing to share his photo here for the purposes of my thread.
Seeing this consist brings back memories of the way NS used to be: mixed four and six axle consists on manifest or intermodal trains. Throughout the 90`s, such consists were common and one never knew what to expect on a given train.
Particularly striking here is that boxy dynamic break housing on the second unit, which automatically says GP59 or GP60--mainline power on NS throughout the 90`s.
Congratulations to Gage for catching this consist. Share your memories here of the way things used to be or comments.
