NS 3027 (Essie)
Title:  NS 3027 (Essie)
Description:  Essie leads a long line of old and brand new power north on NS 368 heading into Ossian. Yesterday I saw Elmer and Essie on the local, meaning when the two engines got back to Fort Wayne, they must have been immediately reassigned to NS 369 southbound. Busy day for those two engines.

Title:  Probably should not have waited. NS 3027 (Essie)
Description:  I knew there was a storm coming but I thought L69 with Elmer and Essie would get here before then. As you can see. It was raining so hard i got soaked and the wind was blowing so hard i felt like I was going to fall over and just roll around like a tumbleweed. But, Essie leads Elmer on NS L69 northbound through Ossian. In a very wet, windy, and very intersting storm
