Viewing Album:  GTW Local Run - Griffith, IN
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:8/8/2011 - 8/8/2011
Album Info:Just by chance, I came across this GTW unit returning with a local pickup from the American Chemical Services plant on the former C&O mainline, now a spur left in place to the plant. Not a common site and coupled with the fact that it was a fallen flags Grand Trunk Western, the camera came out to capture the "Kodak" moment!
