Remarks & Notes

Two friends and I took a long weekend trip to Mingo Junction, Ohio in search of six-axle Alco Centuries. We found a lot of our desired quarry was in the engine terminal, but very little on active trains. A nice consolation was that most of CR’s C430 fleet was present and very active during our visit. Here, the future NYS&W 3004 drills cars in the yard at Wierton, WV.
