An old vet for Veteran's Day! This war wagon 'fifty' leads a heavy 175 car eastbound drag as it approaches the outskirts of Selkirk Yard on a frigid Saturday afternoon. Getting one of these old warriors leading a CSXT freight on Hunter Harrison's GEVO railroad is a real nice catch today!
Coal and steel don't go bad. This album features long, slow, heavy freight trains; drag freights, slop freights, dead freights, etc. Trains with lots of power, and lots of different cargo slogging along behind.
The EMD SD (special duty) series are a strong and reliable kind of locomotive which still serve America's rails today. They have proved themselves reliable by clocking in several million miles of freight service over several decades.
