An old NS SW1001 and a GP40-2 sit sidelined at the Juniata shops among a multitude of other locomotives. I would love to see the 2102 in action.

An uncommon SD60E sits parked on one of the bay tracks at the Juniata shops. I wish these would roam the NS system like they used to.

NS SD70ACC # 1801 still remains stored in Altoona after over four years of being parked in various spots in the yard there. I seriously wonder if it will ever run again at this point.

My favorite standard paint scheme NS SD70ACC sits dead in Rose Yard. This particular locomotive is special to me for sentimental reasons. I couldn't tell if it was stored or just waiting for its next assignment.

Parked behind a pair of Dash 9's, a GP38-2 is seen, wearing a special heritage scheme honoring the Belt Line. This motor is apart with the other piece being placed in a different spot in the yard.

NS SD70ACC # 1828 sits stored in Altoona, awaiting an uncertain fate. This locomotive is missing both a horn and number boards, indicating that its future might not be positive.

A pair of SD70ACU rebuilds prepare to work their next helper assignment in Rose Yard as NS 18N looks on with the Jersey Central Lines heritage unit leading solo.
