IC 6252 South
Title:  IC 6252 South
Description:  The IC Trio heads down Proctor Hill, a funny thing happened when it arrived, me and my dad were waiting for it and we heard some thing like a jet engine, so my dad looked up to the sky and there was no jet, I looked to the curve and here came the three SD40 - 3s down from Proctor. It's still funny to me, but they did sound like jet engines, but nothing can mistake the 16 Cylinder 645 Engine
