is back at Kenwood Yard. I sighted her this morning. Based on the rattiness of the paint job I don't know how much longer she'll be in lighting stripes so if you're going to be in the area, bring your camera.

Hi all ,
Just want to report that an All Lightning Stripe Local just went past my
work,@ 0820. Across the street is the South end of Mohawk yard here in
Glenville. It looked like the head end numbers were 7303 and 7304 .. as a casual
rail fan ,I was super excited to see the all lightning stripe consist!
Hopefully someone will be able to snap a picture...
I usually just lurk here . I love the reports and especially the pictures !!
Take care all and stay warm !
