Trenergy is manufacturing the hoods f.y.i it’s not Steelcon. This from NSC sources directly.

Very nice picture, like the marker lights on the end of 159 and matching red MU receptacle covers, both a historical touch. The angry clouds add a nice touch. Do you have any info on the size of the coil car cover order, how many more cars to get covers ? Thanks for posting, John
