A normal day for 121 is start out from Sterling, make a pickup at North Yard in Detroit, and head down to Delray Junction and Oakwood Yard. They will head west on the Wabash to Peru, Indiana from there.

According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

NS 1067 is currently sitting in Elkhart yard, been there since the 18th.
It is not parked where you can see it from the road. A friend of mine got permission to take this photo.
