A pair of Macs on the front.........
Title:  A pair of Macs on the front.........
Description:  First train of the day was this coal drag, at Lehmond Landing Rd. I had been sitting for about an hour, finished up some reading, and decided to move. Went to Peruque to see if anything was in the Gibb siding....nope, but I was straing up the line at some headlights. So a quick turn around to get ahead and grab this shot.

But they are not alone on this section of track, between Elsberry, and MO-M......By the way, the lead unit here sounded much like a steam engine at rest!!
