Bringing up the rear of 52T and the year of 2016.
Grain train 52T is the last train photographed in 2016 as heads down the Redkey south siding before reversing out onto the Marion Branch to head for Muncie.
In the early days of the NS regime, it was not uncommon to find CR painted units on many trains. Here 12T has a pair leading, one trailing, and a western surprise.

Warbonnets scream west past the elevators at Norborne with a grain load on the Ex-ATSF.
A pair of warbonnets start grain loads west after waiting for over and hour on a relief crew to show up. Well worth the wait to catch Santa Fe painted power next to the ATSF Depot.
Yes! A pair of ex-Santa Fe Warbonnets (along with a H2 Dash 9) leads a short concrete train north into Palmer Lake.
