Backing across Rt. 2 on Pan Am, New Brunswick Southern approaches a Pan Am blue and gray box and the trailing oil loads. The train checked out, with the exception of the spacer whose number disagreed with the number on the sheet. |

Rolling West? |
| Description: |
With the switch lined back to the NBSR main they conducted an air test and rolled back to pick up the man on the ground. Allowing a second chance to shoot the train. I was glad to see it, as I blew this shot the first time around. |

Here's hoping rail is on the to do list, this stuff weathered the depression! 85 and 100lb stick rail is still prevalent up here, most of it as old as the dirt its sitting in. |
