Cool. I've had a friend for the past 50 years who is a TSU fan. It's amazing that they've kept that trade dress for this long.

This impeccably maintained 1953 80-tonner spent the past week at Cicero, IL in the BNSF yard. It came off the NS in Mechanicsburg, PA and was destined for the Iowa Army ammunition plant. I took a look in the cab and it has been rebuilt sometime in the past by RLW and now sports a standard EMD-style control stand and 26 air.

Same FRA train came through again a couple days ago but running north on the Joint line so it's UP leading this time.
