HESR 2026 Rolling Into Reese To Pick Up HESR 3867 For The Night Run Into The Thumb 5/23/24
Thank you for watching!
As always if you have any questions ask in the comments!
HESR 2026 was running the overnight job from Saginaw to the Thumb. Engine 3867 was dropped off in Reese along the siding about 30 minutes before 2026 rolled in so the train had more head power for the job.
