| A few years back the Ashland purchased two SD40-2 locomotives from Norfolk Southern to add to their fleet of geeps. Time and time again I kept hearing "3-step 3215" which happens to be the ex-NMRA unit from NS and I thought I was in good hands and that was the leader for the Willard train. Time kept passing and I began getting more and more antsy as I figured the train would have already left by this point. Sure enough, right before I decided to head to the other side of town, out popped AH1, the Ashland job, running with the ASRY 3215. Apparently this train has been going on duty much later than it did the year prior, as by this time last year it was almost back to Mansfield. While this wasnt the train I was looking for, it did make for a good subject by the CP WEST MANS position light along the NS Fort Wayne Line. |
