NS 5072 |
Description: |
Never noticed the headlight holes below the number boards on the high nose of a Norfolk Southern GP38 before. Did they ever have headlights installed at that spot? |

Unusual order |
Description: |
Normally in a hot metal bottle car there would be a bottle car between these two gondolas. This is the first time I've seen two spacer cars together in this type of train so it makes me wonder if a car was pulled from the returning line up. Will never know but it is an unusual order for a bottle train. |
