Gotta love the "Do Not Board" stencils even though the locomotive has no front steps. Note the new trucks NS is adding to the C40-9Ws to give them better tractive effort.

Rush hour is interrupted by the appearance of Pere Marquette 2-8-4 1225 hustling a mile-long freight westward. I bet the pickup's driver is doing his best to keep up with the high-stepping Berk.
