Motley Power for a Hotshot
In today's railroading scene, the newest power is usually reserved for the hottest trains on the line. In a representation of the current motive power state on Norfolk Southern, red hot train 213 rolls south through the plant at CP Spencer with an aging former Conrail SD60I leading an SD70ACe, a leased GECX C40-8W, and an SD40-2. The train left its originating terminal with just the two middle units, but the SD60I and SD40-2 were called up to pinch hit for the ailing SD70ACe.
