Don't see this often...
Title:  Don't see this often...
Description:  In stark contrast to an event on this same line earlier this week, the EMD rescues the GE. Due to some failure on the BNSF 5780 east of La Grange, BNSF 2886 was grabbed off of Cicero yard job 352 and added to the front of coal job E CNBBTM1 11. Many thanks to M.J. Ryan for the heads-up.
