[@AmtrakNJTCSX_MTAfannerNYC]

The lower ditch lights on one of the SD70ACUs remind me of a C40-8W

[@doublediamondrailroad5949]

Great Catches all!

[@TheMetGuy]

Great catches

[@bentheidioticnerd8993]

What did THB mean with 9716?

[@TheMetGuy]

NS 9716 is a Non Horsehead

[@bentheidioticnerd8993]

@TrainsoftheUSA I also wonder why the ditchlights are so close together, though the P5A fits it perfectly!
