Unusual power
Title:  Unusual power
Description:  An 8859 empty coal train rolls across Martins Creek Viaduct behind a CP SD 40-2 and a pair of Guilford units as the late afternoon sun lights up the bridge. This was quite unusual, in that Guilford power rarely ran south of Binghamton, and coal trains almost always had NS power.
