AC446CM ranks increase - C44-9W decrease
NS AC446CM 4404 leads a C44-9W around the curve after crossing the Wabash River at Attica, IN. The track that looks like it is jumping off the face of the earth is the one-time Wabash Covington Branch, now used to connect a grain elevator on the south edge of town. The track makes a connection to the fabled Chicago, Attica & Southern for most of the route to elevator, including passing the C&EI/CA&S depot and middle of the street running. The 4404 was rebuilt by Wabtec/GE (Ft. Worth, TX earlier this year from C44-9W 9220.
