First WC transfer of 2009 |
| Description: |
The first WC transfer of 2009 comes out of Northtown and starts to head back up to New Brighton. The WC had ZERO cars today, so A406 went back to Point light powered. |

| Description: |
This classic GP9 is the first of its type to visit New Brighton in about eight or so years. That old 567 engine sounded great, and made a lot of smoke when it throttled up. Picture 700 for me on RRPA, and a great unit to be the 700th too! |
