Penn Central at Ferguson (explored) - a photo on Flickriver

            The town unfortunately made famous for all the wrong reasons a few years back, also is home to a rich history, especially railroad history. The east end of this siding is guarded by ex-Wabash, circa 1940's Searchlight Style signals and in the background the Wabash Depot for Ferguson still stands.

NS Train 239 lead by the Penn Central heritage locomotive heads into the siding, which provides a nice frameup as it passes the eastbound signals. I had seen this locomotive trailing a BNSF oil train back in 2014, but this was the first time I had caught it leading.
