1 GE drowns out 3 EMD's on HUGE DE coal train on MGA Manor Branch.

We watch two Detroit Edison locomotives, DE 020 & 001 lead two Conrail units 6763 & 6876 at the crest of the grade on the Manor Branch. The single GE units drowned out the sound of the three EMD's. DE units 018-010-021 are spliced in about the middle of this monster train. Sorry for the camera shake, as we had to hike up a pretty good hill to get this location. With the fast approaching train, I had no time to grab the tri-pod on the quick exit of the car. March 03, 1992. Thanks for watching. Jackmp294.5

Sorry abou the rant but toledo is on hard times and the republican govenor and toledo republcian mayor who poses as a democrat have just torn through our economy and made illegals and out of town reublican small business owners rich. We have so many people on the street while illegals are dealing drugs commiting crime and taking our jobs. Republican vote to stop them then hire them? This is why i give away HOs cel trains weekly and have little money to do it. but it brings a smile to poor good!

This is pure bad ass. I grew up next to the conrail main through east toledo in the ghetto. man i loved DEEX! Always was a treat from the terror living in toledo. Sad we are gonna loose much of the toledo edison trains now off of BNSF to NS. The EPA is shutting down most of the coal burner, now more union workers out on the street less trains. The DOL and EPA are republican funded and backed special interts rich people. EPA closes republican open a distribtuion center illegals and tax breaks.
