Viewing Album:  Manville 2, "The Mighty MA-2"
 
By:Steve Coraggio
Dates:7/11/2019 - 7/11/2019
Album Info:I caught the local freight MA-2(Manville 2) working Bound Brook Yard . This is the first time I saw and caught a crew working this yard to pull a covered hopper. After the crew was done they stopped and spoke briefly with another railfan who was present and myself. The crew was very friendly and in their honor "The Mighty MA-2"as they call themseleves.
