Tonight Rob Robbins, the owner of the Marshall and East Texas Railroad (M&ET) took a turn at dispatching the Sue Line, with some very good results.  Tonight also saw some foreign power on the Sue Line-  Pennsylvania Railroad #4301, a steam locomotive was first spotted heading north out of Sue City.  Here we see the Pennsylvania 4301 locomotive and tender in Pinecrest.  A close-up shot of Pennsylvania #4301 also in Pinecrest.  Three Sue Line GP-40s, see here in Sue City, are taking a manifest northward to Shreveport.  A Norfork Southern (NS) and a Burlington Northern & Santa Fe (BNSF) are awaiting their train.
