This bag prevented snow and ice from building up in the knuckle of AMTK 75 when it was leading west. Now, it is going to be the trailing unit, so the bag has been removed and the power is about to couple onto the train. The orange bag will then be placed over the coupler of AMTK 146, the new leader for the trip east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
