Today, the first day of September saw a fantastic lash-up on NS 39G! The outbound manifest train had quite the assortment of power, with five different locomotive classes, some very rare to South Jersey.

Finally, and in my opinion the best unit in the lash-up, was NS #4616 (GP59). Built by NS in 1989:
