Going that fast in one of those engines is insane. The ride is not smooth, you can feel quite a bit. but its kind of a good reminder that you are alive and your senses are functional. lol
At 12:24 PM this afternoon GP40-2 #4303 running long hood forward was seen rolling by Linden headed eastbound from Morrisville, PAI notice most of the interesting equipment moves seem to be around midday. I've seen several this year in the 11am-1pm timeframe. Usually a Geep doing the work. Might stake it out after Labor Day.
