Line of NS Covered Hoppers
Title:  Line of NS Covered Hoppers
Description:  Although the unit train had around 100 cars, it took about 4 minutes for them to roll past my vantage point. Impressive movement! By the way, just recently (February, 2013), the Indiana Harbor Belt single pole signal to the right side has been replace with a cantilever LED signal set. Much easier for us rr paparazzi to read the signals!
