If your a Rio Grande or a Southern railway fan watch this!

On June 2nd i was eating lunch with my family at the Station restaurant close to BE tower & while finishing up i noticed the Wheeling & Lake Erie coke train coming up the connector track. When it was closer it was one of the two Rio Grande Tunnel Motors running Southern Railway style. Talk about being at the right place at the right time.

He found it near Port Huron MI somewhere and it was later reported somewhere in Wisconsin about 1 week later

not sure where you're located but you can still find a lot of those boxcars floating around the southeast. Good catch man!

This reminded how my fellow train friend found a original Southern railway boxcar lettered "Southern serves the south" in perfect condition.
