Title:  Preview
Description:  We were all at Starrucca waiting for the Southern Tier picnic train to show, hoping the fog would lift. It did, right around 0830. Shortly, there was a horn up at Germantown Rd, and everyone keyed up for the Es. What we got was an appetizer, this TV 201X behind a labor/management B40. A nice shot, even if not E units.
