| Today, N&W Business Car No. 300 was operating for the very first time since its restoration over the INER in Michigan. The car has not ran occupied in over 30 years, so I decided I wanted to go see some history take place this afternoon. The car was operating between Coldwater and Hillsdale under Little River Railroad Crews (the cars home for now) between Coldwater and Hillsdale, MI. I ended up getting up too late to go catch the first run, but I was plenty awake to get to the second run in time. In fact, I was a bit too early so I had a little time to kill. On my way up I followed the Wabash Main toward Butler, and I ended up stopping around Spencerville to grab NS 181 coming west with a BNSF H3 GEVO leading an H1 Dash 9 in a freak lake effect snow shower. A pretty good way to start the day! |
