No, but I was just referring to the pic Jon put up shows a blank end. Just saying it has the lettering on the back like your picture shows and now it has the road number below the light.

Thats normal now for K389. Passed him at Carleton. They have been running only about twice a week, with 140 to 160 cars.

Please do not poke at the ramp agent because he has the power to make your vacation
memorable or miserable. It all depends on what flight you bags go on.

He missed 2 trains, both were spotted by Me (used to be KA Railfan James) From Ford's Livonia Transmission Plant.

#1: Held at Eckles, did not get Locomotive numbers.....

#2: K357 ( Contract Train?? Running for the next few days)

CSXT GP30 Road Slug #2266 in YN1 (Origional Horn)
CSXT #6474
CSXT SD40-2 #8538.

#2 Held at Levan until the train waiting a Eckles was atleast a block ahead. I called Chris and we both think it was a late Q272.... It was excellent GP30 slug catch... again, as you guys know me no camera.....
