NS 6715, NS 6700, and NS 6711
Title:  NS 6715, NS 6700, and NS 6711
Description:  After dropping my brother and my grandma off at the hotel, my aunt and I went to check out what was sitting at the Juniata Shops and Rose Yard. There is a sidewalk that follows the entire shops so we walked the length of it taking pictures of anything interesting. First we came upon a long line of stored NS SD60s. Many of the SD60s are stored due to low traffic levels and waiting rebuilding into SD60Es. There are very few that are left in active service at the moment.
