I heard the Toledo West dispatcher give a Box 2 and Box 3 to some maintenance crew around the Ligonier area on NS, so I decided to make my way back. Sure enough, crawling west was a ballast cleaner, working nonetheless. I settled down at Elkhart CR 33 to get some shots of it working. NS 294 had a slow order by the men and equipment but still made it to the crossing and cleared the crossing before the ballast cleaner hit. |
