Viewing Album:  Metra job breaks down
 
By:Tristan Garrett
Dates:10/1/2007 - 10/1/2007
Album Info:METX 189 won't load (no amps) so power from that afternoon's M BRCGAL1 01 is sent out to rescue it. Ironic that a trio of GEs, including a pair of CSXT units, are sent out to rescue a dead EMD. "16 miles to blow a turbo - think they can do it?"
