AERC 2501
Title:  AERC 2501
Description:  AERC 2501 sits on the southern end of the Mill City branch as it waits for the MOW Tour speeder cars to clear off the main line at Lebanon. This shot is from inside a speeder car (you can see window reflections) as it rounds a curve and heads south towards Weldwood. What struck me as interesting about this image is that it shows the engine placed mid-train, which is unusual when there's only one engine powering the train.
