NORFOLK & WESTERN 2908 HOLDS UP IN THE HOLE WITH A WESTBOUND FREIGHT - WILLOUGHBY, OHIO - JANUARY 15, 1973
Happy Thanksgiving Thursday! Since it's also a "Thirty Thursday", I dug into the collection to share this gem that was taken by well known local photographer Dave McKay, who is no longer with us. A very short westbound is holding in the siding for a meet, and it's has some choice power. Leader is one of only 10 ex-NKP GP-30's that were on the N&W roster, while the second unit appears to be one of only 16 U-25B's on the roster. But it also remains a real puzzler, wearing #151 which is neither an ex-Wabash or N&W number for the U-25B's. But it's also an example of the fewer units that were painted with the yellow "N&W" on the hood before the "NW" came along.
