Grain train on the hill
Title:  Grain train on the hill
Description:  Up til the trees grew too high, it was possible to shoot a train heading for the tunnel from Tunnel Rd between NY 7 and Moottown. I was able to take advantage of this to get a shot of this 390 clawing its way uphill at Dyes siding with a PLM unit leading three SOO SDs.
