No SousaKerry, NS does allow 6-axle power up to Lansing on the secondary. There has been different power from GP40-2s to SD70M-2s. Also, Scott, I suppose these two NS trains run via Wayne and Ann Arbor?

I believe this was a short failed experiment maybe 2-3 train total. They did come from the east Columbus north to battle Creek

You're not the only one. I didn't realize it was 3 years old until you said something, Nathan.
