MMA 5026 South
Title:  MMA 5026 South
Description:  MMA 5025 brought MMA #2 in from Montreal, and now leads VB-1 and 4 other C30-7s south to Derby and servicing. What I would have given for a chainsaw and a few extra minutes... I had several shots of the move but over exposed them all. This one was most easily salvageable...
