Well it only took three years and an untold amount of miles on the car but I managed to photograph every industrial locomotive in the Twin Ports. Arriving last week still needing all three of the SW1's at the CHS elevator and the two NW2's and the FM H10-44 used by Hallett docks. Taking a drive along the docks and getting the ok to venture a little ways back at CHS I closed the case on these three, and two days of searching and getting stuck in the mud I knocked off the Hallett units O and for those who where on the last TCR run to the ports you will remember this they never seam to learn how to drive trucks at grade crossings the cross arm got stuck between the air horn and DOT lights but the driver managed to get free and get off the crossing before getting hit Anyway enough for now tomorrow I'm off for round two with the NSM.
