High Hood Reflections
Title:  High Hood Reflections
Description:  What are the chances of finding 3 Norfolk Southern high hoods paired together in 2016? Here NS 5249 (GP38-2), NS 5102 (GP38-2), & NS 1635 (SD40-2) are parked just north of the A.O. Smith Yard in Granite City, Illinois waiting for clearance back into the yard as the sun has just set over the area. Im really surprised these units havent been summoned by Altoona for rebuild yet.
