Grand Elk Job 303 northbound at 54th St crossing at 6:44pm with a visual video. WAMX #4189 + WAMX #4209 and 14 cars (2 tankers, 1 CH, 11 boxcars)
A surprising run that caught me off guard as I heard this train heading north 8 hours ago.

Crazy right Andy? Third passing of that train in the past 12 hours, truly unusual.

The engine releasing or getting an EC-1 is always leading.
