A Hearty Array Of EMD
Title:  A Hearty Array Of EMD
Description:  UP 5059 leads this UP freight north out of Mitchell, Illinois out of the Alton & Southern connection with a Ferromex SD70ACe and a former Southern Pacific GP60. This nifty lash up never came to a stop while here in Mitchell, I wish it had though. Never the less, this picture isnt much to write home about, it was still pretty cool to see roll out.
