Harpers Ferry Hotshot
I135-17 wasn't the only thing rumbling through Harpers Ferry on a stormy sunday afternoon, as the friendly conductor flashes a wave while they flew through the iconic Harper's Ferry Depot. Standing next to me was a young man in an orange CSX shirt, thrilled to hear they were coming when I walked in with my scanner. It was genuinely fantastic to see his enthusiasm for a train, any train, and to see his excitement as we listened to them calling signals, the low tones of a Gevo echoing off the mountains. His enthusiasm for an intermodal with a common leader was a great reminder to me that they don't always have to be rare, unique, or special. Sometimes a hotshot with a common leader fits the bill just fine, and in this case, I135-17 sure did.
