NS 5609
Title:  NS 5609
Description:  Next we moved into Goshen. When we got closer we heard B38 switching the grain elevator right inside of town along US 33 so we went down to see it. A common GP38-2 pair was working the local today but what was interesting about it was NS 5609 now has pink graffiti on the nose. The last time I saw this engine was with Ethan a couple of weeks ago and it didnt have graffiti on the nose so whoever tagged the engine must have done it recently.
