8 Unit UP & NS Lashed Together
Author: Gary Everhart
Couldn't believe the long line of power units lashed together and shoving a string of cars into the Indiana Harbor Belt Michigan Avenue yard. By the time I got there, the line of locos (8) was longer than the line of cars (6) it was shoving into the IHB Michigan Avenue yard!
