After taking forever to finally leave Augusta due to NS holding them up, Q197 finally got a late start & is seen here passing the YYG 57 mile marker & old school whistle board. Leading is the 3194, the companies "Spirit of Our Law Enforcement" engine. This train is often pushing 15,000+ feet long in the age of PSR, & with the usual power consist of one engine up front & one mid-train, this & counterpart 198 are pretty easy to chase & will have the whole 170+ mile subdivision to themselves due to their extreme lengths, which isn't necessarily a problem since they are also the only regularly scheduled road trains on this line.
