EJE 659
Title:  EJE 659
Description:  Shoving into the Commercial, EJ&E gives a splash of color to the Transfer today. It was only three years ago when the WC 7495 plied these rails, which was my highlight of the summer. This gives a bit of the same feeling, as this is the FIRST time an EJ&E engine has ever been at New Brighton.
