4 - 6) More small videos. The last one shows the trio of locomotives returning to FTL shops.

It was a sad day for the FTL company and all employees. God bless the conductor's family. 
That's all for now.

Always bad when a train hits a heavy dump truck. Very sorry there was a death of a conductor and an injury to a hogger. My prayers with their families.
