Remarks & Notes |
With it's safety idler flat this old rarity is switching big cars of JP-4 jet fuel. Note to photographers: Don't let familiarity breed contempt. I was there for seven years and shot this operation only twice. The locomotive is leased to Cape Fear Railwys, a common carrier, which has always used Army locomotives and handles probably 99% DOD traffic under contract. A unique operation as far as I know. |
