Dresser Emptys
Title:  Dresser Emptys
Description:  This was a nice thing to catch between classes at Bethel. A neat looking lashup rolls by with an empty Dresser Turn bound for Dresser WI. Clouds don't keep me in; you never know what the CP will have on trains these days. While an all blue and yellow lashup would have been really neat, I kinda like the former BN SD40-2 in there. At any rate, this guy sounded really nice as he came by with all the SD40-2s online.
