The first time I have seen a train on this bridge and it was a winner! 5399 is painted in Black Widow colors and is ex-SP 4364.

After getting fuel and a crew, S368 with an ex SP leader heads out of town east towards Cumberland.

EX Southern Pacific SD40 7336, now HLCX 6341, heads east along the Keystone Sub just east of Confluence.

Depending on your preference, you will either enjoy the patched SP leading this intermodal, or the original Norfolk Southern heritage unit #8114 trailing last out.
