Description: |
After most of these seemingly dissapeared off the face of the earth (or the BNSF), they have resurged in the last few weeks. With grain season in full swing, I believe that there may be a correlation. |

A miracle story if you may, the last time I saw this thing it was where the 123 was, and had red tape around the steps on all sides. I thought for sure it was done, but after seeing a video of it leading a Stack train in Chicago, I knew it was still running. And this day I was able to see it again! |
