NS 388

NS 388 heads east through Windsor running VERY late. He stopped at Ivor to pick up loaded coal hoppers from the center siding, which are seen at the beginning of the train. Look at the ominous sky in the background, almost looks like something from the movie "Twister." The lead unit is a Catfish, of course, but check out the second unit. You can't see it too well, but it is #2583, one of only ten original SD70Ms from the NS roster without the notched nose and flared radiators! It would've been better to see that leading, but I'm just happy that I caught a rarity like that! This was one HELL of a manifest, too!
