Well, after catching KCSM 2500 yesterday on the CP, and now W&LE 2703 at 44th, I'd say that this was a great railfan weekend! The future looks bleak for this unit though, the stack appears to have been plated over. That fact aside, its really neat to see this units heritage rusting and fading out. |
