Trackside on a warm summer day we find this Boston and Maine freight slowly moving southbound. A pair of GP18s are in charge of the train with a special painted lead unit celebrating America’s bicentennial. Although the B&M never had a GP18 number 1776, one of our club members custom made this “what if” unit.
Happy 4th of July weekend from the PN crew, we hope you have a fun and safe weekend!
