@Bob - FYI emailed pics last night. Feel free to fwd if you want even though they're very good due to bad sun angle. Pleasure catching this one with you! Thanks for local info during my visit. -jjrailfan from Indy
@jjrailfan Yes, nice to see you, your pictures are very good! Happy we had two beautiful engines to take photos of.. As I said, would love to go Fostoria somoetime, maybe I'll run into you again. Thanks!
Don't take my word on it but i think the B23-7 is going to a place around Colima, México. The small Mexican flag on the nose gave it away. Peña Colorada seems to be the name for a mine in that location and i bet NREX is just the reporting mark it's under for its shipment south.
@UPDetector Thanks, Ryan. I heard on the scanner this would have a NREX on it, had no idea if it would be something crappy or good, but I make sure to always check out anything coming out of there.
