MEC 501 Leads L054 at Curtis Corner
Title:  MEC 501 Leads L054 at Curtis Corner
Description:  Following a run of a decent 38 cars down to Leeds Junction earlier that morning, L054-07 returns east to Riley's with another good sized train (by today's standards without Verso in Jay) of 41 cars, the first three being grain loads "for the chickens" in North Leeds. Recent heavy rainfall is evident from flooding off to the left side of the photo, and Bishop Hill Rd. just behind me out of frame was closed due to the high waters. Full lineup was the MEC 501 and CSXT 6229.
