An unit corn syrup train! We had a great vacation staying at Ron & Rita Hatch's B&B. Wish it was still there. Thanks for a great time folks.

The 70MAC's on the string of power on the right are about to move but there's other interesting stuff about including one of only two SD40-2Bt's #301 sandwiched between a pair of SD40-2's and a gr... (more)
