Lots of power |
| Description: |
The last time I saw five units on the transfer was the summer of 2003! I wish this were five SD45s in stead, oh well. Times have changed. The transfer had no trouble getting up Shoreham hill today. |

The transfer is about to pick up the CN 2231 to make a five unit consist. While it looks warm out, it was cold, mostly due to a 4 degree wind chill when it was 18 degrees outside! |
