Local engine awaiting duty |
Description: |
Train in background was backing up the wye and about to come back into the yard from the south to add engine 5297 to the train. Another crew member came over to start 5297. I waited anticipating the thick plume of smoke that would enhance any train pic but this thing hardly made a puff. |

Plain Jane's |
Description: |
Headed onto the "B" Line. I really don't understand NS's practice of taking delivery of engines in primer. These things had to be masked to be primed. How much more effort and time would it take to apply black paint. The white could wait if they're in that much of a rush, No? Could someone explain this? |
