I went out for the 9508, and was utterly shocked to see the 5805 on point. This was during those early days of NS mixing Covid and PSR. 21R was close to five miles long, and lacking a cab signal leader (or so I recall). The 5805 was all that was available, and that geep led the train all the way to Chicago!

They were switching a plant on the other side of the bridge. All shots were taken from the same place. Love my long lens, and always have a camera ready, you never know what you'll see.
I love my Nikon. I had no idea that I would catch them here, so it was grab and shoot.
Geep rebuild.
