740 heads south with a rare treat in its consist today. CORP 3838 has made the trip into Bay City for work, and now makes the trip back into Michigans Thumb.
Coming into Saginaw, the 701 will cross the river behind me and then have to stop and wait for the 1225 to get out of the way. He'll then follow the 1225 into Bay City.
As it crosses the locally famous Mershon diamonds, 1225 also crosses several crossings. Please note the RA flag and logo on the steamer placed there for a short time only. This was a RA event.

In a fresh blanket of snow, the 301 job pulls the night train into the yard limits.
