Friendly horn action
I was treated to lots of friendly horn action from the crew of NS 21Z, aka "The Zipper" (Rutherford, PA to Chicago, IL, 63rd St., Park Manor Yard hotshot trailers/containers) as he flew through downtown Brimfield, Indiana on NS' ex-LS&MS/NYC/PC/CR Chicago Line. I'm sure they've seen me before as I've shot the evening parade countless times which includes the Zipper. At the time of this shot 21Z's crew took 20K home the following day back east to Toledo as a regularly assigned set of trains, (although that may have changed since) and as it turned out I got the same friendly horn the following day from 20K with the same crew. NS 2585 is an SD70M built in Oct. of 2000 for NS. The NYC era tri-light signals are still in service here.
