Due to the funky late evening light conditions, even a brighter setting on my camera did not crisply record this engine's number, but I was able to discern it.
"Gotcha" I said as I got out of my car to snap photos of this stopped eastbound freight on the Wayzata Subdivision. The crew was waiting, as usual, for clearance into Minneapolis. The shot I took using the flash setting turned out to be best, hence the funky glow on the sign and the nose of the KCS unit.

Even if its a trash 9, I still find the idea of manned helpers in the Atlbnta area pretty neat!
