M&E - LTV RS11 fleet
Here are a collection of photos by Jim McLean taken on July 17th as the units move to the Missabe interchange. Jim first took the flat cars M&E; filled up from the shops area down the hill to Hinsdale where DMIR will pick them up. Next he took the 10 RS-11's and after dropping them off he took some photos from 7209 on the bridge back up to the shops area.
