Since NS installed this larger radius turn, trains come through here at a pretty good clip now.
About halfway up the "B Line" just a couple of miles short of the Allison passing siding.
Eastbound intermodal on "B Line"
TOFC cars on right were set out earlier for maintenance. NS crew changed out wheel set.
Really chugging! Just came out the Allison siding after waiting on an eastbound intermodal.
If only this were truely a SP loco. Run through agreements add a lot of color to consist but mergers are wiping out the variety your going to see in the long run.
This place will always be a sore spot with me. As soon as this train passed I tried to start the Jeep to catch a shot of the train in Delaplane next to the Country Store. Bad day in Delaplane, battery blew up. Never had that happen before. Jeeps don't go good without a battery. Had to wait 1.5 hours for a horse truck to give me a push start. Whew!
This is almost a double of a previously posted pic. I reviewed and liked the lighting on the nose better.
