Viewing Album:  NS 555036 Caboose Backing Maneuver
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:10/20/2009 - 10/20/2009
Album Info:While standing on the Martin Luther King Walkway over the NS tracks in Roanoke, we noticed a caboose riding the lead in a backing maneuver through town. So, in deference to the caboose, this will be a series of pics while NS 555036 "leads" the train instead of traditional motive power.
