Well I knew about this in advance early this morning. So by this afternoon I ventured out to Rootstown Ohio to see NS Honoring Our Veterans SD60E #6920 leading NS westbound autorack 27N. He passed this location at 5:41PM. The RS5T horn and the lighting on this engine was perfect. Actually for the years I've been going to Rootstown, these photos of 6920 are probably the best sun light photos on an engine I have gotten. I will have the video up by tomorrow morning.

Jim, thanks. Yea, the engine is a little dirty, but for me, it really didn't matter. Because this engine is always in freight service it would be kind of hard to always keep this engine clean all the time. I actually like it not clean in a way, because it shows it's working.
For me, because I'm a Virginian fan, I sometimes wish VGN 1069 was clean all the time, but again, it looks better with it not clean.
Nice pictures and video. That is one long freight train.
Thanks for the pictures!
Larry
