We caught a catfish! If you aren't familiar with "catfish" as a reference to trains, it refers to wide cab Norfolk Southern engines, particularly GE. The white stripes on the black nose resemble the face of a catfish, and thus the name. On this day, this NS C44-9W is assisting in DPU helper duty on this westbound BNSF manifest.
