BNSF 5373 and buds.......
Title:  BNSF 5373 and buds.......
Description:  Well, we did not beat the inspection vehicle back into Elsberry. We fSund him sitting at the car wash. As we headed for our refueling stop, we see headlights of this guy, which we took after our stop. But they are not alone on this section of track, between Elsberry, and MO-M......By the way, the lead unit here sounded much like a steam engine at rest!!
