Being at my roots, an NP fan, I love the nod to the "ex-NP" locomotive! I drive by here everyday on my way to work and it always makes for a great day to catch a train here. Great spot to do my favorite hobby!!

Being that the BBRH Home Office is deep in the heart of NP territory, I always appreciate anything NP. But this spot is super nice too.
