    Great photo.

    5911 still kept it’s big multi into retirement as well.

    A once-familiar location. Nice, timeless image. That road was severed quite a while before you shot this, as I was there in 1976 and it was cut back then.

    Classic. Yes, 5911 was a superstar in the railfan community of the 2000′s due to it being one of the last large multimarks left.

    But a moot point for those who got dozens of them when they were normal!
