NS 7302 |
| Description: |
While walking around the museum, we could hear a horn coming from the northwest off the Fremont Side, so after thanking the caretaker endlessly for letting us have a free walk-through, we headed over to the other side of the streets to look at the other displays and catch the train. A short NS 331 showed up moments later with a NS SD70ACu leading a BNSF GEVO, coming by the PRR Atlas Car. |
