NS'S Alabama Division Birmingham East End District  Contributor's Pick!       
NS Westbound Vehicle Train 270 ( Birmingham to Lincoln, Al. Honda Plant ) passing through Riverside, Al. on their way back to BNSF's East Thomas Yard with an ultra rare pair of SD38Ps for power, Ive caught these before on transfers & yard jobs on BNSF, but is my 1st time ever seeing these SD38Ps on a road train, theyre not equipped with ditch lights, so the 270 had to run 30 MPH over each crossing with the headend only, once the headend gets through the crossing they can get back to track speed, but if theres many road crossings together may as well stay at 30 MPH

Bernie Feltman General Looks like the FRA would allow the roof-top warning lights to suffice in lieu of ditch lights. BUT, I am discussing a branch of the government 4/9/2013 10:23:14 AM
