Dark Stallion
Title:  Dark Stallion
Description:  Sporting a new coat of paint, NS 2702 leads NS train 181 out of Decatur, Illinois well after the sun set. The 181 pulled over the WABIC diamonds and held for NS train 32Q from the south. The bright new LEDs make night shots a little tougher but make up for it by lighting up more of the surrounding area.
