Hi All,

I am new to this board as a contributor, I caught the MEC 305 in Salem comming off the peabody branch on Thursday around 1200 hrs. they had 3 hoppers. when I saw them they where preparing to run around the train and push it off teh branch, long hood foward.

2 questions, 1 which job is this? and where does it originate?

2. where would it be headed after it left salem, long hood forward?


Thanks Capt Bill
