Phil S General I wonder if this was a transfer job or just power loaned to the BN 6/10/2012 3:56:06 AM
Chuck Zeiler General I'm pretty sure this was a transfer. I saw GTW power several times at BN's Cicero Yard. They would arrive at the east end, drop a train, run around and pick up another and drag it away the same direction that they arrived. A BN switcher would remove the caboos from the arriving train and place it on the departing train. 6/10/2012 10:04:18 AM
