BNSF C44-9W 4151, along with SD70MAC 9756 wearing the BN Executive scheme lead daily (technically nightly) Birmingham to Memphis manifest train HBIRMEM1 at the MP 617 just north of CP North Judge between Quincy and Amory, MS just shy of midnight.
4151 at Manchester Victoria not long after the bombing in 1996. After spending a couple of weeks at Greengate we started to terminate outside the station. This was at daft o'clock in the morning arriving on a 37 and departing on a 35 to Leigh. A Swinton via was fitted (God knows why as it was never allocated to SN) so one had to improvise!

How many background galaxies can you count?
