Bernie Feltman General Very nice photo. Why have they tacked on a box car to that good looking train? 9/19/2010 12:56:13 PM
Stephen Brock General Looks like this Special got roped into some yard work? Great Photo!! 9/19/2010 7:02:10 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Bernie & Stephen. I can only speculate why they needed the boxcar. Guess only the crew would know that. Maybe it was needed for a cover car, but it wasn't on the train when I saw this special running on the 3B District the next day. Added to the train were NS 5634, 4611 along with the original power of NS 5668 & 4613, also 2 coaches were added, as well as a flat car with a container & a tank for the Transcaer Special 9/19/2010 9:12:04 PM
