GTW 5935
Title:  GTW 5935
Description:  While the lighting may be totally dismal, the power, and circumstances are far from it. In the near future (weeks) there will be a wye placed here, changing New Brighton forever once again, and the last bit of WC feel will all have but vanished. But today, it looks like the old days, and the power sounds like the old days. It sounded more like a SOO Line 940 heading to Stevens Point more than a CN A406. It was nice to just soak in the sound of the humming 645's as they open up.
