2500 on this hill |
Description: |
Having the same consist that it did two days ago, the 2500 is still in the lead as it grinds up the hill towards New Brighton. Much to my dismay, the sun came out just a bit after this shot was taken, would have looked better with sun. However, its not everyday one gets to see one of the few SD35s around leading a train. |
