CP 8074 - EMDX 7203 - 474 - Ottumwa IA
Checking Facebook this morning, I saw that an EMD banana had been dropped off at Nahant within the last day and was hoping that it would get picked up on something and head south. A friend called a friend who called me at about the same time to inform me that it was, indeed, on a train headed south. Some strategizing with the wife and younger son's naptimes allowed me to load up child 1 for a morning of trainspotting. We nabbed this guy at Farson, SSS Rutledge, and the overhead halfway down the hill before cutting chase after hearing it went into emergency. As we were parking for that final shot, we saw a CSX unit train head west on the BNSF, so we went after that instead.
