Three ALCOs in the snow.
The area to the north of the tracks (near the large, brick building) is private property and should not be trespassed upon. The area to the south of the tracks has two roads that run directly to the engine shop and are thus easily (and lawfully) accessed. Be careful with "accessing" the s...
Just so you know, these boxcars like other cars marked for GVT roads can be found anywhere on the North American railroad system. These specific cars just happen to be in this pool.
