Another of the ex-NS nee-CR units found its way to Taft & decided to stay around, hopefully for as long as most of the other local power does (a month or more sometimes). A786 went on the law on the RC Branch & A776's crew drove down to finish their work & bring the train back to Taft Yard. Seeing this ominous black figure running long hood forward (not to mention with no ditchlights) on the horizon brought back memories of N&W. Clinchfield & Penn Central also came to mind. |
