NERR 573 Leads Rare Dash 8 Duo on Rock Train NE01-02 on 8/2/24

After 2596 went down for maintenance, the Nashville & Eastern slapped a Dash 8 duo in its place to join 2620. Ever since the SD40-2s and now SD70Ms have been assigned to this job, it has been increasingly difficult find more than one Dash 8 on this job, especially now the 70Ms run solo with the assigned engine in Carthage to work Bonnell. So ‪@rail.tennessee‬ and I set out to get the rare lashup on a surprisingly corporative morning.
