NS 337
Title:  NS 337
Description:  An EMD quartet makes its way south through downtown Landis on a gloomy afternoon with NS 337 in tow. In the spirit of today being the first day of Spring Training, an freshly rebuilt SD60E is showcased in the leadoff spot, a former HLCX SD60 bats second, a former N&W SD40-2 hits third, and a GP59 is in the cleanup spot. Any EMD fan should be able to pick something they like out of this one.
